I apologize. I’m “on the road” (currently in Georgetown, KY) on the way back to Wisconsin from our grandson’s Eagle court of Honnor, and I’ve just now seen this fine article which should interest members of the Founding Father/Revolutionary War ping list.

So, a belated ping, ping, ping.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this ping list.

While on the subject, I tried to read the book “The Fort” which is concerned with the largest US Navy defeat until Pearl Harbor. The battle took place in 1779 at Penobscot bay .

Paul Revere is depicted as a pretty much worthless Lt Col commanding the artillery.

Having no knowledge of Paul Revere beyond his ride and his silver work, I wonder how accurate the depiction is
