Last summer I read FOUNDING BROTHERS, JOHN ADAMS, and APRIL 1865. Even though the last book was about the Civil War it gave me a much better understanding of the Revolutionary period.... and how slavery was an unfinished issue then and eventually resolved a hundred years later.

Did you enjoy 1776. First saw it in l976 then again this spring. Bawled like a baby when they began reading the names of the signer. My 5th great grandfathers had signed the Bradford Accords. (One spent the winter at VF, spied on the German troops...GW referred to him as "the little Dutchman") We owe our ancestors alot.

I LOVE 1776. It's become a tradition with me to watch it every 4th of July! :-)
