I am sick of reading and hearing about lies and dishonest portrayals of the founding fathers morality, I would appreciate everyone's input with which books would be the best to turn to for an accurate description of who the real men are?
Thanks.

Re: Unbiased bios on the Founding Fathers?
no one is unbiased, but the best I have ever read of a good chunk of them is "Uncommon Heroes" by Steve Allen (not that one:P)
There is a version with a really good LDS epilogue Could not give it a higher recommendation

Re: Unbiased bios on the Founding Fathers?
There's a new book out - "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers". I haven't read it yet myself but I have thoroughly enjoyed all the past Politically Incorrect books I have read ("The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History", "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism", & "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution").
Also, there is the series put together by Cleon Skousen ("The Real George Washington", "The Real Thomas Jefferson" and "The Real Benjamin Franklin"). There are great books.

Re: Unbiased bios on the Founding Fathers?
we are all imperfect, the founding fathers were the "best" the Telestial had to offer in defense of Freedoms, so, what's new in the last 6,000 years, preparing for a Terestial order (misery loves company, criticism makes for a more "level ground'?)
