Mission

Conducting unique research on the Revolutionary War

I love researching the American Revolution, particularly the Southern States.  Since about 2003, I've been reading extensively on the war. At some point about 15 years ago I came to realization that there was so much of the "story" untold. This led to primary source research and then eventually writing about my research findings.  Since 2019 I have been regularly publishing articles on relatively unknown but important topics on the war.
