While researching some history, I found this article from the Smithsonian that discusses some "myths" about the Revolutionary War.  It talks a little bit about April 19th as being one of the turning points of the revolution.  There are definitely some facts that I will try to include when I'm doing my three strikes.

If you enjoyed the article you might also find John Ferling's "Almost A Miracle" equally so.

Thanks, V.  Sounds like a worthy addition to my library.

I am giving the lecture on Hezekiah Wyman. I have not been able to find much about him except what is on the forum and 'Paul Revere's Ride'. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
