I did just buy the hardcover of "1776"....My husband read it, and about two weeks ago, a friend needed something to take with her on a two week trip, so borrowed it...Hopefully, when she gets back, I'll get it again.... I just refound (after being lost in storage for several years) a book I really am going to read in it's entirety....It's title is: "The Revolution Remembered" Edited by John C. Dann, 1980, Chicago University Press..... A story of the Revolution by battle, as told by the participants through their Pension papers, etc, that are in the National Archives. I bought it because a brother of on of my Patriot Ancestors is the first man printed as he (and his brothers) were all at Concord and Lexington. I really do like old letters....what the letter writer says, can not be manipulated. He/she may be right, or wrong, but no media can change their words or meaning. Probably letters, and diaries, are the best history there is....
