Review Quotes

It is the role of the past to teach the future. Without that aid the future continually stumbles never understanding that it has all been done before. With the aid of the pen of Robert J. Skead and his father, our past, seen through the eyes of his heroes the Clark twins, teaches a great deal about courage, patriotism, and right and wrong during the trying times of the American Revolution. Books such as Links to Liberty, the exciting story of the great West Point Chain, ought to be read by all young Americans. The future of this nation, and to a great extent, the future of the world, will be in their hands. They will need the past as a guide.--Hugh T. Harrington, Editor Emeritus, Journal of the American Revolution
