Puzzle was on sale , I know this book will take awhile. I stubbed 2 toes this afternoon, not thrilled. Guess I will have to keep it up & read the rest of the afternoon.

...evidence of 150 riots in the 13 colonies from 1765 through 1769--and there were undoubtedly more he did not detect. During the early 1770s, according to Gilje, the rioting continued on a similar scale.

It was 250 years ago that our great experiment with democracy began. So, I read the first volume in Rick Atkinson's wonderful history of the Revolutionary War.

A lot happened in 1776 in the colonies and a lot didn‘t happen. Several of the key events that we think of for the Revolutionary War happened in 1776, and yet there was a lot of just moving men and planning.
This was easy to listen to and interesting. The focus was on Washington and what he did. I wish there had been less focus on him.
Over all good worth the time.

Started this Friday. Haven‘t listened to it since because I listen to audiobooks while I work and I took a couple mental health days.
I like McCullough he‘s good at telling the information in a palatable way.
