A Different Kind of People..
Posted on July 13, 2012 by James RileyWhen we look back on the great accomplishments of the late 18th century — embattled farmers standing their ground at Lexington and Concord, the timeless language of the Declaration, the homage the centuries have paid to the Bill of Rights — we tend to see the victories and not the character of the people who […]

The Conscience of the Soldier
Posted on July 8, 2012 by James RileyNot Every Order Should be Obeyed The Brittany Rebellion of 1771 Most enlisted soldiers cringe at the very thought of disobeying a superior officer. As Washington wrote, “the soul of the army is discipline,” and the very enterprise of war can’t move forward if every battle strategy required a vote. Certainly, even rogue […]

We’ve always tried to make the language of Courage, New Hampshire authentic to the journals, letters, and newspaper usage we’ve seen in 18th century primary texts.

She said very early on she had an idea for an entertainment “brand,” along with the right people to produce it. By all appearances, she’s doing very well.

The Inevitable Surprise
Posted on May 18, 2012 by James RileyWe’re at the “plot points” stage of episode #4, where we debate what happens to whom, how we match it to the events of the era, and what we have the means to attempt. For example, in this next episode, we’re very confident that Reverend Laud, in a flash back scene, needs to give […]
