I love that each week your Talking to America about history is new for me. A very good article about Bryan. Thanks again.
Thanks for your encouragement, Sheila

Perfect summary, Rachel. The film was black and white, history rarely is.
Thanks Jack. America has addressed this issue a few times and here we are yet again. BTW-I loved “God Save Benedict Arnold”
Thanks, Tom. History is seeming more and more relevant.
