"Always reluctant to resort to profanities, the chaste Washington cursed at Lee 'till the leaves shook on the tree,' recalled General [Charles] Scott. 'Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing before or since.'"
Battle of Monmouth Courthouse
28 June 1778
(Excerpt from Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow)

I just finished reading Independence Lost by Kathleen DuVal @KathleenADuVal - it took my a while, but I'm glad I dedicated the time to finish it. Thanks to @lizcovart for the podcast interview with the author that sparked my interest!

Reading Independence Lost by Kathleen DuVal, which is a book about every single thing I didn’t know about the American Revolutionary War, including the underlined about smallpox outbreaks in the south. (Underlining done as a photo edit, not in the book!) #history #AmRev #Spanish #British #Creeks #Choctaws #French #NorthAmerica #smallpox

I'm doing some research on Committees of Correspondence. I pulled literature but it's all dated. I asked a group of colleagues today if I had the latest research and they said I did.
It's time for someone to relook at committees and write an updated, intercolonial history. #AmericanRevolution #AmRev #History
