After recently reading "1776" by David McCullough, I've become a American Revolution reading fool! I've since gained a greater respect for George Washington and his contemporaries and was re-introduced to key players like Nathaniel Greene and Henry Knox.

Outstanding!

If you haven't already discovered him, may I recommend just about anything from David Hackett Fischer. Bernard Bailyn is also fantastic, as is Arthur Tourtellot's Lexington and Concord and Robert Gross's The Minutemen and their World.

I'm hoping for sequels, 1777, 78, 79, 80 and 81.
