A bit of #history from the #americanrevolution. A cannonball (recovered underwater) from the Battle of Valcour (oct 1776), I believe fired from the HSM Inflexible. #NavalHistory

The Story Behind a Forgotten Symbol of the #AmericanRevolution: The Liberty Tree. While #Boston landmarks like the Old North Church still stand, the Liberty Tree, gone for nearly 250 years, has been lost to history | Smithsonian Magazine
Decent backgrounder for general audience, tho this framing strikes me as a bit odd: sure, tree is gone, but phenomenon remains well known & was in fact depicted on the reverse of the first US Bicentennial medal https://www.nytimes.com/1972/05/28/archives/us-medallion-features-washington.html

"OTD 1765, the British official charged with administering the hated #StampAct was hung in effigy from an elm tree near Boston Common. ...Over the next weeks, the great elm emerged as the place in Boston for protest meetings. People of all classes — including unskilled laborers, #enslaved people, & #women, who were normally excluded from official town meetings — flocked to the "Liberty Tree" to post notices, hear speeches, & hold outdoor meetings."

I know #Outlander is #fantasy fiction, but now they've gone too far. Benedict Arnold drunk at the Battle of Saratoga? Dan Morgan, famous sharpshooter, hunter, and backwoodsman, wearing all white?!

#OTD 1776 - General Benedict Arnold desperately requests anchors, paint and tarbrushes, spyglasses, speaking trumpets, fishnets, grape, canister & double-headed and chain shot, for America's first navy, which he is building on Lake Champlain, at Skenesboro (now Whitehall), which was then remote wilderness.

I've been making some progress in my #historicalfiction novel that involves officers on opposing sides of the #AmericanRevolution falling in love. I'm enjoying writing it quite a bit and can't wait to make them kiss.
