What is the setting of Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph Ellis?

Founding Brothers is set in Britain's former American colonies in the decade following their successful war of independence. Much of the action takes place in the two early capitals, New York and Philadelphia, but spreads out to John Adams' home in Quincy, MA, Thomas Jefferson's estate at Monticello, VA, and George Washington's Mount Vernon and the adjoining site of the permanent capital on the Potomac, Washington, DC. The first dramatic scenario plays out on a ledge overlooking the Hudson River in Weehawken, NJ.
