Happy Fourth of July!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, MY FELLOW AMERICANS!
If you aren’t American, feel free to celebrate our 4th of July, too. Turn it into a day of drunken revelry, as we’ve done with Cinco de Mayo. It’s cool.
I was originally planning to write about my favorite books set during the American Revolution, but as I was sitting here I realized that I don’t really have one. In fact, I’m having trouble thinking of more than a couple of titles - and the ones I remember, I didn't actually care for. Clearly, this is a time period I should spend more time reading about. So, help me out!
What book written about or set during the American Revolutionary War would you recommend, and why?
