This must-read book will certainly become the "go to" source for researching John Hanson. An in-depth study of his life and friendship with George Washington, Remembering John Hanson is extremely well written, easy to follow and well documented. President John Hanson has long been forgotten as the man behind the struggles, and mover and shaker of our first government.

Some of the best information on Hanson I have ever seen.

Edward Edelen, President, The John Hanson Institute

This work represents the most comprehensive and—equally important—extensively documented exploration of the life and contributions of John Hanson. It provides the context and critical analysis to properly elevate Hanson to the pantheon of the fathers of our nation.

Aldan Weinberg, Professor Emeritus of Journalism, Hood College

You contribute greatly to our understanding of Hanson, his times and why he became largely forgotten. Remembering John Hanson is clearly and engagingly written with excellent illustrations.

Ralph Levering, Hanson scholar and Vail Professor of History, Davidson College

I have found your information to confirm my arguments why Hanson was the more significant first president of the United States. The story of John Hanson is much greater than previous authors have given credit to.
