That’s what supporters of the independence movement among American colonists did when Thomas Paine published the first bestselling literary work in our nation’s history exactly 250 years ago tomorrow. And Lawrence Township, NJ, will hold its 64th Annual Colonel Edward Hand Reenactment March then, as described here (and which this year includes a brief speaking part for yours truly).
Other miscellanea for those interested:
– If anyone wants to see images of the annual Princeton battle reenactment from January 4, you can do so here courtesy of the Bergen Record. (Get the picture?)
– I’m looking forward to speaking at an upcoming conference sponsored by the Brigade of the American Revolution— Redcoats & Resistance: Invasion of New York, 1776 (April 11-12).
– Work continues on the new replica Durham boat that will be coming to Washington Crossing Historic Park this year, and which visitors will actually be able to step inside.
– I recently prerecorded a talk about my most recent book, Winning the Ten Crucial Days for the Emerging Revolutionary War podcast, which will be aired on March 22 as part of its Rev War Revelry series every other Sunday night at 7 pm.
