Fergus Bordewich author of The First Congress: How James Madison, George Washington, and a Group of Extraordinary Men Invented the Government
The little known story of perhaps the most productive Congress in US history, the First Federal Congress of 1789–1791.
The First Congress was the most important in US history, says prizewinning author and historian Fergus Bordewich, because it established how our government would actually function. Had it failed—as many at the time feared it would—it’s possible that the United States as we know it would not exist today. - Amazon
