This video series by BYU TV is excellent and definitely worth watching. This is one episode of particular interest to Appleseeders: http://www.byutv.byu.edu/seethegood/post/Traveling-the-Midnight-Ride.aspx There are many more which chronicle the American Revolution from the beginning to end and seem to be historically pretty accurate. Enjoy!
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

The speakers delivery and style is good.  Student's will not likely nod off at lunchtime with him as speaker.

But the historical script writers need to correct the historical gaffes. 
Also his writers needed to drive home the point of the spear on a few items and clarify other points.
They sorta stopped at the 2nd Strike, which could have been better BTW.  Would like to have seen his version of the Third Strike and omit Bunker/Breed's Hill.

I realize there are time limitations on productions like these.
But as Appleseeder's, we notice these things.
I am glad more folks are stepping up to get our heritage out there! So a big thanks to BYUTV!

Again, good overall engaging presentation. He would hold his audience well. O0

There are a few mistakes in the story, but it's pretty cool.
