This immense interest in the famous ride of Paul Revere is all to the good. Thank you Sarah Palin. The amount of old papers and accounts are now brought into focus for the ordinary Joe out there (self included). All good for the mind for some of us. It seems that previously only a vague idea of the historic ride engendered by Longfellow was well known.

Sort of like the person who decided to investigate a certain certificate of live birth. The amount of genealogical data and research that has come forth is incredible. Maybe created many more family historians amongst the average Joe. (chuckle).

I've long felt that a daily or weekly deep history thread would be a good thing for Free Republic. If someone wanted to take it up I would like to be number one on the ping list.

In the mean time.....
