These Founding Fathers of ours are so important and the more ways we can reach people, the more people, the better.

Why they never put biographies on school reading lists instead of fiction garbage, I’ll never know.

Newt Gingrich writes some great historical fiction books. Amazing. Gives you realistic insight to the times.

We are coming up on the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington & Concord.

When Paul Revere was released by Major Andre (after Revere’s skillful use of psyops), he made his way back to the parsonage where Hancock and Sam Adams were staying. There Revere found John Hancock furiously trying to sharpen his ceremonial sword to fight the British. Revere and Adams had to convince Hancock that they were management, and their capture would be a very big deal.

Hancock and Adams fled and ended up at the homestead of Amos Wyman and his wife. There they fed the patriots a simple meal as the salmon Hancock had brought to the parsonage was left behind (along with their women). When Hancock later became the Governor of Massachusetts, he gave a cow to Mrs. Wyman, which was a very big deal back in the day.

Most of the biographies of Hancock that I have read were not very complementary of that Founding Father. I look forward to reading / hearing this one.

Bouncing off of the comment I recently made to you: (This intended as a friendly ping, reply optional)

My personal frustrations with having no more TEA Parties led me down a path that ultimately ended here, audio books. I create them and I am not alone. This is one of our more popular ones having now been downloaded over 43000 times.

This is a great way I teach people the life and importance of John Hancock.(rinse/repeat with respect to our other audio books)
