Reviews

"Rappleye, a journalist whose one previous book was about organized crime, skillfully details the complex relationship between these brothers, whose differences over slavery tested but never destroyed their friendship."[9]

"The leap from the Mafia to colonial New England is a long one, but Rappleye makes it with style. He is a diligent researcher (who has difficulty letting go of what he finds, hence this book's excessive length) and a fair-minded, unjudgmental chronicler of the Browns' complicated story."[10]

Reppleye, ′Robert Morris′, page 409, in reporting the elections of October 1786, says, '...John Smilie lost his seat.' John Smilie did not stand as a candidate for the Pennsylvania Assembly. He did not lose his seat. John Smilie was a candidate and elected to Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council.[11]
