1776 - reading
Finished "1776" by David McCullough. I loved how the author referenced so many primary sources in the telling of the military and political events of 1775 and 1776 in America, including resources from the British commanders and soldiers. One thing referenced in several places throughout was General Washington's indecisiveness, which I hadn't learned much about before. Also, several instances of the amazing luck his army had on multiple occasions and how that turned the tide. Now I want to go back and read McCullough's John Adams.
