Baron von Steuben cracks me up. His temper, cursing in multiple languages, impatient... but determined and ultimately effective. I really enjoyed this book about him #HATM

Very glad the filmmakers included the experiences of Mary Campbell and other women assulted by soldiers. That's not always included in stories of the revolution. The depositions are hard to read, but necessary to read. #HATM

One of the most interesting things about the #HATM conversations re: the Am Rev doc imo is seeing how people are processing / relating to it through modern media portrayals of the war. So far I’ve clocked mentions of:
Hamilton
West Wing (Josiah Bartlett/ fictional Jed Bartlett link)

#OTD 5 years ago, I began working on a historical novella about James Armistead Lafayette. It's remained my best seller.
My next project is an essay collection of African American stories during the AmRev period (concept art below).

For those interested in learning more about the enslaved persons of Mount Vernon, cannot recommend this book enough. Mary Thompson dedicated her entire career to this subject. This book is incredible #HATM

Young Johnny Greenwood was away from his company at the start of the Battle of Bunker Hill because his mother (mentioned in the last episode) had come out of Boston to find him. He had to look after his mother. #HATM
