Thanks to one and all for your book ideas..........I now have a great resource of information, some of the titles were available and some were out of print....but worth hunting for. I am presently reading a fictional novel called Rise to Revolution.......in paperback.........1/2 way through and enjoying it very much. I also have a couple of others I'd like to add to the list...........Founding Mothers, Women of America in the revolutionary Era by Linda Grant De Pauw which I picked up while on vacation in New England a few years ago......I even found an ancestor mentioned and War Letters by Andrew Carroll.....letters home from the troops through all our American Wars........very touching and enlightening.
