I’ve always wondered why no one ever made a movie surrounding April 19, 1775 and the events leading up to it. A fictional script couldn’t be more dramatic.

Boyoboy, I could not agree more. When I started to read book after book on the Revolution (and also about General Washington about 20 years ago), I could not believe how many incredibly interesting and absolutely fascinating stories there were. So many vignettes that you can hardly make up, for example:

--The sassy black tavern waitress outside of Boston who spotted Brit spies and called them out on it
--The capture of Gen. Lee by Tarleton at the Widow White's tavern in Basking Ridge, NJ being "entertained" by the Widow White and literally caught with his pants down
--The incredible spy ring that Washington ran
--The Quaker lady who risked her life spying for Washington
--The capture of Major Andre by local militia in NY north of NYC and his eventual execution
--The stories surrounding the beautiful and vivacious Kitty Greene (wife of Gen. Nathanael Greene)

...and on and on. But don't get me started...
