A Good Refresher

Battle narratives are always tricky to write. What is important? What is secondary? What purpose does the narrative perform? Will the reader be able to follow the action? Is the narrative fair? Balance is important.

As promised, this small book took about one hour to read. It gave the basics at the right pace. Only one thing jarred me, and it is not the author's fault. The colonists viewed themselves as British subjects. I know the report says, "Notify your men, the British are coming." It seems so unlikely. Instead, "Notify your men the Redcoats are coming" makes more sense as the British troops wore red coats.

I like the tale and its telling. I recommend it.

Eye Opening, Inspiring, And Captivating

The American Revolution is a history that I am familiar with. Still, this brief narrative had nuggets of treasure that I did not know before reading. For anyone, like myself, who loves to read, that is exactly what we crave for when we are reading.
In a more general way, I want to say thank you, to you, Hourly History. I discovered you by accident. It has been a glorious discovery. I had already read much before I discovered you. But you have taken my already big appetite for reading and increased it enormously. Thank You!

Concise

An interesting and concise coverage of a pivotal period in USA history.
I always wonder at the time it took for messages to get from the 'colonies' to Britain and back (plus sending additional troops, etc.), as the mentions seem comparable to making a phone call or sending a text when THAT was just not possible.
Could have benefited from tighter proof-reader in a few instances.

A clear retelling of the beginnings of the American revolution against the British monarchy, and of the unlikely events that birthed the ideals of American exceptionalism.

Nice glimpse into the early days of this nation. A time of hostility. A time of togetherness. Working for a cause of independence.

Very nice book

Having grown up in the 60’s and 70’s, I was fortunate to experience the bicentennial celebration of our great nation! The events leading up to July 4th are just as important as the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence. This book gives a better understanding of the events that happened on that fateful day in Lexington and Concord.
