1775 Blog
I have been reading a terrific blog I wanted to share with you. It's called Boston 1775, and that's what its all about. The subhead explains: History, analysis, and unabashed gossip about the start of the American Revolution in Massachusetts.
The writer of the blog is J.L. Bell, and he includes all sorts of excerpts from letters, diaries, books, trial transcripts etc. that shed light on the people and activities of Revolutionary Boston, in far more detail than you can find anywhere else. Honestly, I don't know where any one human gets the time to find and post all this stuff!
Best of all, he's been doing it for some time, and it is all indexed, cross referenced etc. to the tenth degree, so it is easy to find something that has come before.
Bell is well connected in the Boston re-enactor and historical community. I was talking to the folks at the Old State House today (we're working on a documentary with them) and they know of and respect his blog a great deal. So history lovers, check it out!!
