Is there a good/proper place to discuss Revolutionary War history on the forums? The Instructors at the Appleseed suggested some good books. I'd like to discuss them and share thoughts with other folks. I also dug through some genealogy and found I'm  a direct descendant of at least one Revolutionary War veteran. Have other people looked for this as well? What did they find?

Thank you for the link! It seems it's forbidden to me, perhaps newbies aren't allowed?

The History sub-forum is in the instructor-only section. That can only mean one thing...
