Eric, The boards look great and we're gonna have some fun here. Now I can indulge my secret passion for the Rev War  Am in the middle of David McCollough's book "1776" and sometime soon I'll try to start a discussion on it. J.D. |

Thanks! Susan gets all the credit--she chose the software, and she set 'em up.
That would be great. I thought that was a fabulous book, and I hope you will do so.

Linda,
When do they have the dress rehearsal? I never attended that. It sounds like something I'd enjoy...crowds sometimes detract from the event.

Now you'll notice that I just chose Lighthorse for my avatar, one of the great Rev War cavalrymen  We'll have us some great cavalry discussions here... J.D. |

Eric,
The party started before I got here, but thank you for the new site. I had ancestors on both sides of the conflict so I am looking forward to reading the posts.

Eric, This is a great idea discussions on wars that shaped America and get very little attention . Look forward to some lively discussions and interesting perspectives . Have been to several Rev War and French and Indian (Seven Year War) sites . One much forgotten Blue Licks in Kentucky where the last battle of the war occurred . If anyone remembers the Fess Parker Daniel Boone show little Israel Boone was killed at Blue Licks. Much needs to be done to perserve CW sites and even more for the early American War sites . This site will be fun Tony  |

This is fantastic. I have looked for boards and discussion groups on the American Revolution in the past and have been disappointed. I am looking forward to learning and participating in this group. Eric and Susan, thanks for having me.

Eric,
Way to go! Another brilliant effort in keeping our roots alive. Thank you.
As for my interest in the American Revolution, it clearly comes from nurturing. I've spent most of my life in the Finger Lakes of N.Y.. The sight of Gen. Sullivan's campaign against the Seneca and Cayugas. The ramifications of which are still going on. It is also one of the primary sights for land grants to enlisted and officer veterans. I have several friends who can directly trace their names and land to these men. I even know a person who has the lone causalty of Sullivan's campaign buried accross the road from her house.
I look forward to learning and sharing with the group.
