Whiskey Rebels: A spy for Washington during the war got framed for sedition. A decade later, engaged to find the missing husband of his former fiancée, he becomes entangled with Hamilton and Jefferson (finance/the Bank of the United States) and with a widow impoverished in a western Pennsylvania land scheme who is determined her lucrative distilling enterprise won't be quelled by Hamilton's ruinous tax on western whiskey-makers. What is patriotism? is the central question in this sterling novel, one difficult to answer still.
