Kosciuszko by Anthony Sherwood
This is a biography of the man named for Australia’s highest mountain peak. Tadeusz Kosciuszko: freedom fighter, friend of Thomas Jefferson and champion of liberty on two continents, America and Europe. The author has disseminated the information in an interesting and often humorous way, so the experience is not overpowering.
Sherwood starts by writing a timeline of events in history during Kosciuszko”s lifetime.
