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.

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.

I’ve been doing lots of genealogy in recent years. One person who has intrigued me from history is Gen. Winfield Scott. I’ve worked outward in all directions and have accummulated over 1600 people, one of whom I was working on two nights ago...Col. Nathaniel Ramsay who I believe was involved in the Battle of Monmouth.

I’ve learned a lot more about history this way.
