| 48. Revolutionary War period. |
|
I personally own an extensive library that revolves around the 18th century. Over the years I've assisted in several projects either on film or PBS pertaining to the Revolution. My second job is a challenge as it covers a wide range of history, from community to national government. Sometimes I actually get the opportunity to actually get some articles published. Mostly I like researching, it is a challenge but rewarding to find out something you never knew.
