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.

pickA 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.
pickI started this book on December 21, 2024, and finished it tonight on January 20, 2025.
One reason it took me a month to read is that it is a chunkster of a book. I, also, went down the rabbit hole, which I seem to do when I read a history book. The Fate of the Day covers the American Revolutionary War from 1777-1780. It's the 2nd volume in The Revolution Trilogy.
I thought I knew a lot about the Revolutionary War. It's a subject we are ⬇️

'As the Parisian social season drew to a close in February 1777, few courtiers could guess that the Queen of France was eager for the gaiety to end.'

This book could help when discussing the American Revolution and you could use this for your student to explore lives of enslaved people during the time
pickThis book is a great read to help your class understand the history of the American Revolution!
