JOHN JAY BOOK CLUB Fourth Meeting on Thursday, July 9th at Noon
The John Jay Homestead Book Club will meet on Thursday, July 9, from noon to 1 p.m. The book for discussion during this session will be Triumvirate: The Story of the Unlikely Alliance that Saved the Constitution and United the Nation, by Bruce Chadwick.
It is a story of three Founding Fathers—Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison—all of whom cooperated to write the original and brilliant Federalist Papers, which was aimed at uniting an independent populace threatened by the idea of a strong central government. Through the efforts of these Founding Fathers, this country was united. Bring a bag lunch. Please preregister so the site knows how many people to expect by calling 232-5651, ext. 104.
