Speaking of this, Nadine... The Americans revolutionaries were very weak when they began to fight in 1775 ... Have you read any of Andrew Carroll's books?

Yesterday, while we were out for the day, I read to my husband three letters from "Letters to A Nation" from the Rev War start, including one from George Washington to his wife Martha, right after he had been chosen to be Commander of the Continental Forces....

The first letter dated April 19, 1775 tells of one persons' view on what happed that morning in Lexington and Concord.... Another was written the spring of 1775, written by a woman Loyalist, to a friend in England....telling of how the Brits were complaining of the Colonists having the temerity to hide behind trees instead of fighting in the open like they were supposed to do...

I smiled a bit when I see you were thinking of the same thing that I just read aloud yesterday....
