What're FRiends for.
I've enjoyed all of this stuff too. I remember asking you to post more Revolution threads at one time. You replied, it doesn't get interesting until the Civil War. How right you are. I've enjoyed learning.
P.S. You're still in charge of BicycleSpankenTruppen (which shows up in Google) recruitment.
;-)
Yeah there's a long "dry" period of US History between the Revolution and the Civil War. Lots of good local/regional stuff but not a lot of interesting national history, of course that's just my opinion.
