Reading Empire of the Summer Moon about the Commanches and how their mastery of the horse changed them from a low level tribe to the most dominant. Best fighters from the horse the world has seen one could argue.

Overall yes, he jumps around a bit, but easy to read, Author is S.C Gwynne. He also has a book on Stonewall Jackson

Hehehe - ok so I missed a few things over the years -- got nothing on Tarleton, but ...

I got at least 3 on Benedict Arnold, a couple on Washington, Chernow's on Hamilton (the checkout chick was really excited because she was going to see the show ... I was like, well I'm sure it's good but well, yeh I probably won't be :) .... and let's see a couple on Nathanael Greene.

I'll dig out the formal titles, and authors at some point soon; maybe after Xmas (might have some to add to it then anyways).

One site that I have gone to a bit recently, and it can be hit and miss (the first entry that I read was pretty amateurish and basically awful, but the second one -- by the author of 'The Quaker and the Gamecock' was pretty good - is https://allthingsliberty.com/

Journal of the American Revolution.

I want to get bios for Knox, Lafayette, Turncoat (another one on Benedict Arnold), Marion ... well we'll see ---

At the moment I am reading Leckie's single volume -nearly done (I guess as a starting point) ...
