Description

A Quaker Goes to Spain is a multifaceted historical narrative. It recounts in detail a unique but virtually forgotten U.S. diplomatic initiative during The War of 1812, interwoven with a far more personal account of the emotional hardship, and the cultural and philosophical growth, experienced by the unusual man sent to carry out the mission.
