Something that has always been remarkable to me is that back in that era, everyone served in the military in some capacity. Even the wealthy and the educated, physicians and attorneys of the day were out in the field fighting for America.
Wish I could see that sort of service today.
The History Channel is doing it justice. Private land had to be grabbed. Heat and cold were at extremes. Supplies were few. Washington's men always seemed to be short of food. A civil war broke out between loyalists and patriots. Some considered the whole mess a world war.
An amazing time with amazing people.
