Well as there was no ruling Queen at the time, calling the backstabbing Quisling’s the “Queen’s Rangers” is rather suggestive... Hmm, can anyone think of some current political leader of backstabbing traitors who might be the person referenced as their “Queen”?

Andrew Breitbart had a small cameo role in CNH. He played a colonial sheriff.
The show is primarily about the years leading up to the revolution with the increasing pressures placed on a small NH frontier town called Courage. It references little known historical events like the Pine Tree riot.

Do you think that this show might put the enemy on to the fact that we ARE watching?

I just started readying Brian Kilmeade's book, George Washington's Secret Six (2013) and just picked up Alexander Rose's book, Washington's Spies (2006) at Walmart. I find it interesting that it took so long to identify who five of these six spies were. The leader of the ring was identified in the 1920s. The identity of the sixth spy, "355", a "lady", is still unknown. I guess George Washington didn't even know who these people were.

Indeed...I had posted about this a a week or so ago,
here, and I had considered posting a reminder today, but you already did...thanks! I had pinged the list.
And cripplecreek, from a reasonably good source, I understand that this has conservative Hollywood people behind it. And as far as the accuracy goes, they claim to have been very careful about everything: accents, clothes, language used, etc.
Have a look at these articles from the NY Post and the NY Times from this weekend.

Washington knew. He wrote to them...he burned the letters he received.

Didn’t Brian Kilmeade write a book on this?

I guess I haven’t gotten far enough along in the book. Did he know their actual identities or just their code names?

I can’t WAIT to watch TURN tonight. I only wish they’d start it at 8 instead of 9...my bedtime is 9:30 as I am a morning gym person.

Ugh, between this and Outlander, I’m afraid I may be forced to finally buy a TV set. Does anyone know what is the cheapest sort of TV that will work well?

You can get a 32” flatscreen HD 1080 TV for about $200 these days.

Agreed. Loved Courage, NH. They never came out with another season. I wonder if they ran out of funds. The writing, cinematography and music was excellent for an independent production with lots of good actors. I’m sure the 4 episodes were not cheap to produce. Too bad they couldn’t partner up with the History channel or AE or one of the many cable channels for mass mainstream distribution etc.

They’re still working on funding more Courage episodes. Nick Searcy had a golf tournament for funding about a month back.
