I'm hoping for sequels, 1777, 78, 79, 80 and 81.
I concur! I'd love to see a series of major motion pictures about this period. The historical events are legendary and could easily be put on film.
I do hope both of you go to Lexington, then take the road to Concord--if you haven't already, of course. It's truly a step back to another time. There are many historic sites and interpretive markers. The Minuteman National Historic Park roughly traces the route from Lexington to Concord. The Minuteman statue in Concord is worth the visit, and there is a museum store there with an excellent selection of books. I picked up a copy of a listing of the various Minuteman units, with a complete listing of the men who answered the call that day. I found the name of my greatx5 grandfather.
Walden Pond is just outside of Concord, and Authors Row in the local cemetery has the burial sites of some of America's greatest authors: Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott and Hawthorne, all grouped together.
