From the Technometria review of l776: "The biggest lesson to draw from the first year is “don’t give up.” There were a few ups for the American Army, but many more disappointments and it’s easy to see how many would have thought that there was no hope...."
I am reading this book now and the designation of "disappointments" does not convey how brutally awful that period was. Those who perservered were truly amazing individuals. This was the time, by the way, that some of my ancestors came to this country, on the wrong side. They were Hessians.
Why, oh why, does FNS have lamont on? Will they try to show what an idiot he is?
