I really enjoyed the historical values and the way the story was written bringing out the hardships any trying times of those days.
The book definitely added to my understanding of the time in the life of our country.

A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green is full of historical events like the Whiskey Rebellion. I felt as though I have traveled back in time. The characters really portrayed their time periods. The accents and actions made the historical moments come alive. I was impressed. The plot was steady but good. Danger, risks, and hope are filled on these pages. A single woman traveling with a boy under her care looking for a safe place. A man wanting to run his farm but might be forced to fight for it again. These were strong independent characters. I could easily relate to their troubles and connect with them on many levels. Overall, it was a great read. I recommend it to others.

I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

This was a very good read.  It did get a little slow in the middle with all the storms, but brought a new understanding on just how hard times where when this was going on.  I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys history.

Held my attention throughout.  It really brought the period in history to life.  All the characters were very believable. They came to life the more I read.

This was a great read . Well developed and interesting characters intertwined in the historical period they represented . One got a true sense of that period and the dedication of the British to beat Hitler before  he marched into Britain . I recommend this book highly .

This was a great read of some fascinating history.
I had only a very basic knowledge of the black soldiers in the civil war and this was very engaging.
Spellbinding to see two people, both fighting for their liberty, but in different ways and on different sides of the story.
I particularly loved the ending - I was worried about what would happen to Caesar.
I read Shaara's revolutionary war books but this was much more engaging.

This is a fabulous look into history, as was the other two books in this trilogy.  The fictional characters melded with real historical figures and events made this a great read.
