One of the best RevWar movies ever made. And Jeff Daniels was surprisingly good as the General. My one nit to pick: General Washington would never had sent Hamilton ahead to take out the Hessian pickets; Hamilton was an artillery officer and Washington would have sent an infantry officer.

I don’t know if that was bad history or not but it could have been Hamilton.

When I visited the site of Yorktown, I read all the historical markers. One of the final actions leading to the British surrender was the assault and taking of several of the British redoubts surrounding the main British position.

The French took a couple of the largest ones but I noticed that Alexander Hamilton led the assault on one.
