Marion's Reviews > Defiant Brides: The Untold Story of Two Revolutionary-Era Women and the Radical Men They Married

The first half of the book is more about Henry Knox and Benedict Arnold, rather than their wives. Lucy Knox comes across as whiny, although I'm sure losing 10 children out of 13 must have had a big impact on the poor woman. Peggy Shippen Arnold was much more interesting. The most interesting part of this book was it's exploration of the impact of the Revolution on the lives of the families, although in some respects the book just skimmed the surface, and left me wanting more.
