Email Excerpts

"Just a short note to thank you for spending your time and expertise in making a fascinating presentation to our SAR Cascade Centennial Chapter today. All of us left with a much better understanding of the Battle of Assunpink Creek and its strategic importance to America's ultimate victory in the Revolutionary War. You are clearly an authority on the topic and covered the various considerations of this battle beautifully. It certainly fulfilled one of my goals as chapter president to have programs at our chapter meetings that relate directly to the Revolutionary War and are presented by subject matter experts. "
—DICK PAUL, President, Cascade Centennial Chapter, Washington State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution - February 3, 2024

"Great to hear all the neat stuff coming up at the Crossing sites! Looking forward to the upcoming book. Thanks for all you do!"

"This is an impressive piece of scholarship. I doubt that the average reader would spend the time I did reading the Notes and Bibliography, but reading between the well-crafted lines I could not help but appreciate the determined tedium that must have gone into searching all of those quality sources to reference and support with quotes and landmarks the action you were explaining."
—JOHN McQUARRIE, retired history teacher, Notre Dame High School, Lawrenceville, NJ - May 7, 2023 - commenting on The Battle of Harlem Heights, 1776 

"I'm writing to say I love The Battle of Harlem Heights.... Even though I've read just about everything on the battle and have led walking tours over its landscape, I learned a great deal from your book (and confirmed a few things that I wasn't quite sure about). Anyways, kudos and thank you for writing such a well-written and researched book."
—MARK SATLOF, Battle of Harlem Heights tour guide - April 26, 2023

"I love your most recent JAR article on 'Perspectives on the Ten Crucial Days.'  It is extremely well done. It does give us a new perspective with all those quotes together in one place. I have all your books and your JAR articles. You do a wonderful job."
—GARY LLOYD COLES, member, Pennsylvania Society Sons of the American Revolution - March 7, 2023

"I wanted to tell you that your book, The Road to Assunpink Creek, has been very helpful to me. My great, great, great grandfather was at the Cannonade of Trenton and the Battle of Princeton as a member of the Northumberland Militia.
