Loved that show but I don't know how historically accurate it was...<br /><br />Ruth StephensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761714970048172162.post-82573061419208916102010-01-08T16:30:19.041-05:002010-01-08T16:30:19.041-05:00Thanks for sharing this.

In the last ten years or so there have been 20-40 or more new books on the American Revolution very well researched and written, based on many new primary resources (letters, diaries, journals) that provide new insights into the period. Every few generations review this period, but we are fortunate to be in the middle of an excellent time of study and reporting on the founding of our country.<br />P.S. Most of what we learned in school was homogenized myths... seems necessary, but we can learn more by doing more of our own reading, in detail for the periods and people of interest.Dr. Bill (William L.)
