My wife bought me a couple of new books today. One is A People's History of the American Revolution, How Common People Shaped the Fight for Independence. The author is Ray Raphael. It is made of of accounts/letters written by the folks who suffered and bled for the cause but whose names are not in the history books. While skipping through and reading a passage here and there it promises not to be the "history" we know so much as an eye opening account of how terrible one colonial was willing to treat another colonial in order to survive in those days.
The second book is titled, The Day the American Revolution Began, 19 April 1775. The author is William M. Hallahan. I'll read it later.
I read the first book a couple of years ago. I would be interested to hear what you think.

I just finished the second book. VERY good read! JB
Hearing what the little guy has to say always is of interest to me,cause to "I am the little-guy"...but WORSE! if your a tyrant that is!

A big endorsement for this one from me! Haven't read the other yet.
