Fascinating stuff about Revere's ride to New Hampshire - I knew nothing about it. I have a soft spot for the "Live Free Or Die" state.
Snippy, I'm also shocked, just shocked, to learn ordinary Americans were allowed to keep assault rifles in their homes in 1775!
You really must read Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer, it's outstanding. More information than has ever been taught about Revere and Adams and what they were all doing at that time. Check it out!
