Boston 1775
I’ve enjoyed this blog for a year or so. Local Boston historian who very occasionally comments on modern politics. He commented yesterday on Palin’s ridiculous description of Paul Revere’s ride, and also the continued misrepresentation in the media by those who sought to correct Palin. I was glad to see it and wish it had a wider audience. You can read it here:
Today, while letting the local colonial history community know about an upcoming talk by Robert Martello (“Midnight Ride, Industrial Dawn: Paul Revere and the Growth of American Enterprise”) he also published a very funny picture of Paul Revere’s imagined reaction to Sarah Palin’s understanding of his contribution to the Revolutionary War.
Enjoy. :)
