Found this interesting: http://boston1775.blogspot.com/2008/01/ ... -down.html <blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">When I first read about Continental troops timing an attack on British lines to disrupt the performance of a play in Boston, I feared the story was too good to be true. It seemed to feed right into America’s stereotypical, crowd-pleasing picture of the Revolutionary War: clever Yankees, decadent and flat-footed British. And even if an American attack did disrupt a play, was that any more than coincidence? We humans like to believe that our actions have desirable effects and that events don’t just occur by happenstance.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> For those interested, the "Boston 1775" blog is a very nice source of detailed vignettes of colonial life (mostly, though not exclusively, in the Boston area): http://boston1775.blogspot.com/ Very frequently updated, too. |
