The Strange Ways of Dragons takes the reader on an whirlwind journey into the cryptic, labyrinthine mindscape of the great winged serpent. Through the compelling poetic storytelling of Arthur Lee Conway, a riveting allegorical tale is revealed, one where dragons are both fire-breathing and antics-stirring in equal measure. Their sense of sight is far grander than that of an eagle's, their sense of hearing is more potent than an elephant's, and their greed is ever-ravenous.

In bridging the gap between Lee's private interests and public career, J. Kent McGaughy seeks to overturn many of the misconceptions about Lee and shows that, throughout his life, he remained dedicated to his family and public service.

In 1783, the American states had won the Revolutionary War, and the Articles of Confederation had won majority support among the public. Yet, only four years later, the government totally collapsed. In analyzing the extraordinarily divisive issues the Confederation faced in the aftermath of the R...
