She sounds to me in a way like Samuel Adams. I dictated an audiobook last year LINK: "Life and Times of Joseph Warren" written in 1868 by Richard Frothingham, and it set me off on other books about that era.

Samuel Adams is known today as a "rabble rouser" but back then, he was mostly a behind the scenes person. He preferrred the shadows, even if he was Joseph Warren's right hand man. Samuel Adams was far more likely to be working in the dark back rooms of a tavern than being on the front lines of a mob facing off the Tories or British army.

Hey rlmorel,

I spent a few minutes listening to the audiobook you send me the link to. You have a splendid voice for this reading such works.

It’s tragic how much the heritage of Paul Revere, John Adams, Samuel Adams and the rest of them has been hidden from the public — in part because searching for “patriots” takes to you to football sites.

And considering the current policies of the corrupt and misguided people running Massachusetts politics, it’s as if the heroes of the past never existed.

My initial thought is a large graphic based on a map that allows you to click and get a popup of facts about these people. I would be willing to create the visual website mechanisms for such as guide.

Work thinking about.
