#CoSoBooks It's after midnight, so it's obviously time to start a new book. And I'm off!
"In this audacious recasting of the American Revolution, distinguished historian Gary Nash offers a profound new way of thinking about the struggle to create this country, introducing readers to a coalition of patriots from all classes and races of American society." https://www.samsonhistorical.com/products/the-unknown-american-revolution
@GlennS Sounds pretty good..
@BillieBun it looks promising. The author says that the book is the accumulation of his forty years of research on the Am Revolutionand talks about how the work of so many of his colleagues has led to a different understanding of the AR, through the eyes of the many, the workers, the oppressed, those who had been forgottten until this new movement began in the 60s and 70s. Published in 2010, this book is culmination of this guy's life's work.
@GlennS Did you say the title in your first post about it?
@BillieBun I didn't. It's in the link, but yeah, it's called "THE UNKNOWN AMERICAN REVOLUTION"
@BillieBun Gary B. Nash is the author
@GlennS okay. I've always liked history; I'll have to write the name down.
@BillieBun I've been reading a lot of history over the last year. It's keeping me sane.
@GlennS One of my brothers reminded me I should be getting back to reading books for just that reason.
@BillieBun Full title with subheading is this: The unknown American Revolution_ the unruly birth of democracy and the struggle to create America
@GlennS Thanks. I'll either buy it or see if the library has it. Then I can fill my husband's ear with something other than current event stuff.
"From millennialist preachers to enslaved Africans, disgruntled women to aggrieved Indians, the people so vividly portrayed in this book did not all agree or succeed, but during the exhilarating and messy years of this country's birth, they laid down ideas that have become part of our inheritance and ideals toward which we still strive today"
