Anything by Richard Ketcham for the Northern Theatre and “The Road to Guildford Courthouse” on the Southern Theatre. The two volume “Philadelphia Campaign” was very good.

And please don’t forget that young Frenchman wwho did so much for the American cause. lafayette was worth every honor he received and more too. His life was filled with many hardships, prison time, and the death of his beloved wife whom he married at the age of 16. She was 14. They were devoted their entire lives. After her death, he never married again and always carried her portrait with him. Off the subject of the revolution, but encompassing, because he was married when he left for the revolution in America because he believed in our cause. Gravely wounded at Brandywine, he played cat and mouse with Cornwallis in the south. There were more Frenchmen at Yorktown, than Americans.
