America’s Revolutionary War heroes caught in the spotlight by a novelist, humorist, and playwright. Come back stage and find out more about the events of the war and our leaders as the whole show is, ahem, un-costumed. Written with great wit and academic authority (no rube, Mr. Bissell was a Harvard graduate), A New Light on1776 and All That is a terrific read.

America’s Revolutionary War caught in the spotlight of  a great American novelist, humorist, and playwright.  Come back stage and find out more about the events of the war and our leaders as the whole show is, ahem, un-costumed.   Wigs are tweaked, visages dusted off, and events, well, clarified. Incompetent officers, bungled battles, old recipes, newspaper headlines, and many other various (and sometimes delightfully useless) bits of information flounce across the pages. 

Dancing shoes on a founding father.  

The real reason that troops were at Valley Forge.  

Who hated whom.   

The menu from a dinner hosted by George Washington.   

How many German mercenaries were hired by the British. 

The truth about Bissell's visits to Revolutionary War battle sites. (Example: “I went up to Ticonderoga last month to research the fort. I am a very meticulous historian as you may have gathered by now. I discovered that (a) the fort is a replica and (b) the admission fee is $2.00. I have still not seen Fort Ticonderoga.”)

Written with great wit and academic authority (no rube, Mr. Bissell was a Harvard graduate),
