The main reason for the in the US was land grabbing, as the British had treaties with the Native tribes.

@Anglophyl @sarae The pensions can be really fascinating - but tough to read. Often written under less than optimal conditions with less than optimal materials.

Every year at this time (around Patriot's Day, April 19th) the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum in Lexington, Massachusetts displays the Lexington Alarm Letter. This letter was sent to the other colonies to notify them that war had begun in Lexington and Concord. If you live nearby, this is a great thing to do betweeen April 10 and April 21, 2023 srmml.org/exhibitions/current-

This amazing photograph of a first cousin many generations removed sent me down the rabbit hole researching her life! The Munroe family of Lexington, Massachusetts participated in the first battle of the Revolution, and many family members witnessed that event. I never thought I would see a photograph of a family member from that generation!

Many of us are familiar with the many struggles faced by the short-lived garrison at Fort Laurens. Rather than focus on that, I thought I would look at the life, and death, of one soldier in particular. He was a Virginian and his name was Private George Osborne.

Today in Labor History December 17, 1760: Deborah Sampson was born on this date in Massachusetts. Sampson disguised herself as a man in order to fight with the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. She called herself Robert Shirtliff (as in don’t lift my shirt) and stood 5’9”, taller than the average man in those days. She fought in several skirmishes with British forces before being wounded and discovered and then honorably discharged from the army. She later petitioned the government to be repaid the wages that had been denied her because she was a woman. Her friend Paul Revere advocated for her full compensation. Finally, in 1816, Congress granted her request. There are several other women known to have secretly fought in this war. Sampson’s story has been portrayed in several plays and works of fiction, including “Portrait of Deborah: A Drama in Three Acts” (1959) by Charles Emery, “I'm Deborah Sampson: A Soldier of the Revolution” (1977) by Patricia Clapp and Revolutionary (2014), by Alex Myers, one of her descendants. Whoopi Goldberg played her in an episode of “Liberty Kids.”

MISSION COMPLETED for 10: “American Revolutionary.”

I’ve been reading this 1985 book with my oldest over the past few weeks as he studies the topic in school. Only 1 ending & you can’t die, so it’s a low-risk .

Series was always more about learning history; often you diverge from main path. In this case the goal was to discover the identity of the man who fired 1st shot of American revolution, and bring back his musket.

Who likes pub history? Built in 1784, this is one of the oldest brick tavern buildings in the United States. George Washington stayed here for two nights in 1791.

It’s part of Old Salem, a historic district in Winston-Salem, NC that started out as a Moravian settlement. The whole street is 18th and early 19th century houses. It’s like going back in time

The Father of the American Cavalry was an Polish count.

Casimir Pulaski, born in Warsaw in 1745, died in October 1779 due to injuries sustained in the Siege of , one of the bloodiest battles of the .

He was only 34, but he’d already had an incredible life. Forced to leave Poland after rebelling against King Stanislaw II, he met Benjamin Franklin in Paris, who recruited him to fight with Washington’s forces. (Cont)
