Hopefully I am not the only one that figured Shays Rebellion was a 60s band, and they found some rare records.

“...the group of about 1,200 was driven away with cannon fire.”
Now we’re talking! Use that approach in Portland, LA and Chicago!

Followed not long after by the Whiskey rebellion, and a tax to pay off war debt through a tax on moonshine.

Hopefully I am not the only one that figured Shays Rebellion was a 60s band, and they found some rare records. LOL. It didn't occur to me, but now that you mention it, I can see how someone could see it that way.
From the article: "It ended up in one of the boxes containing Bibles, dictionaries and miscellaneous documents that the sheriff’s department packed up when it moved from Union Street in Northampton to Rocky Hill Road in 1985."
I always think it's cool when old artifacts from history get discovered. Who knows what else is out there moldering away in some obscure government basement or backroom? It would be nice to maybe get a bunch of local history graduate students to archive stuff like this and put it on display in a museum. Better than letting it rot away.

Show this to the Karens who constantly whine about getting rid of “clutter”.

Shays’ Rebellion factored into the decision to scrap the Articles of Confederation and adopt a new guiding document... The US Constitution.

There was a book written about my Ancestor (GGGGGrandfather). “He’s” trying to get me into the SAR now.

...written on yellowed pages in looping cursive... That explains the delay. They had to find a geezer to decode it.
