It's a complete shame what Massachusetts has become 230 years later.

If you liked that book, I bet you'd like Professor Robert Gross' The Minutemen and Their World as well. I couldn't recommend more strongly---a fascinating insight into how the politics of the city crept to the frontier settlements . . . goes a long way into explaining why the revolution began in the frontier, not the city.

Good to hear that there are SOME FOLKS in Massachusetts who revear (pun intended) the founding fathers.

Hell yeah. In my opinion, the night of 18 April and the day of 19 April are high holy days . . .

Long live the spirits of Dr. Joseph Warren and Mr. Samuel Whittemore.

Be sure to also read "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer (I'm sure you have).

One of the best non-fiction books ever written.

As we approach April 19, I thought this was an appropriate story for the list.

And now that it is 19 April, here's another:
