pickThe American naval war during the American Revolution wasn‘t fought by a navy (excluding the French Navy), but by privateers who saw profit in securing a percentage of the cargo of any British ship taken. This book details the story of those privateers, their successes and the failures. An interesting book. Signed copy.
I so miss Litsy! I got a new phone, and Litsy doesn't meet the latest requirements to be on the Android play store. Just got on here via the web version, but this was always a phone activity for me. Sorry to everyone who has tagged me in the past couple of months. Thanks to everyone who has hosted fun readalongs, viewing parties, and holiday activities. I hope Litsy is available on Android in the future. Tagged my current NF read.
pickI started this book several times over the past six years or so. This is truly dense and impressive in terms of all of the information it conveys. I finally stuck it out thanks to a lot of car rides. I learned a great deal that‘s not covered in basic history classes. It gives fair depictions of the founding fathers, flaws and all. It was interesting how the democracy experiment almost crashed and burned or sputtered out on several occasions.
Happy 247th Birthday America 🎈🇺🇸 💙!!
David McCullough‘s 1776 is praised as one of the best books about the American Revolution. I hope to read this soon.
