Yes...could not agree more. I guess they felt they had to tart it up a bit. Overall, my problem with the series is not enough action; too much talky talk.
Yes, and they changed the location and timing of battles, etc., according to the article I read.
I wish that they’d show more of the spycraft. They gloss over it so quickly that it’s hard to tell whata they are doing.
Oh, yes. Anna and Selah Strong never owned a pub. They were quite wealthy, and Selah was a judge.
1800 U.S. War Department records burned [”Most records in War Department custody were destroyed by fire, November 8, 1800. Many of the remaining Revolutionary War records were lost during the War of 1812. As a result there were, until 1873, few records for the period before 1789 in War Department custody. In 1873 Secretary of War William Belknap purchased for the Federal Government the papers of Timothy Pickering, who between 1777 and 1785 had been a member of the Board of War, Adjutant General of the Continental Army, and Quartermaster General; the papers of Samuel Hodgdon, Commissary General of Military Stores for several years during the war; miscellaneous contemporary papers; and some minor groups of records and single record items. In 1888 these records were transferred to the Department of State. By acts of July 27, 1892 (27 Stat. 275) and August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 403), Congress authorized the transfer to the War Department of all military records for the Revolutionary War period then in the custody of other Executive branch departments. These military records were transferred between 1894 and 1913 from the Departments of State, the Interior, and the Treasury. In 1914 and 1915, under authority of an act of March 2, 1913 (37 Stat. 723), the War Department made photographic copies of Revolutionary War records in the custody of public and private institutions in VA, NC, and MA. The entire collection was transferred to the National Archives in 1938. Although its contents span the period 1629-1915, the bulk of the information
deals with the period 1775-83.-http://www.archives.gov/research_room/federal_records_guide/war_department_collection_of_revolutionary_war_rg093.html]
