We have only done a few movies twice on Historians At The Movies, but I think Rob Reiner’s work should be on that list. Join us on Disney+ this Sunday, December 21 at 8pm eastern for THE PRINCESS BRIDE.
Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

I can not believe how much the authorities have screwed up this investigation.
Meanwhile the shooter is still at large and could be anywhere by now.

Most weekends my son is at Salve Regina visiting his girlfriend & they often are in Providence in/around Thayer St/Brown U. Very glad that she is back home for winter break & he's home. 🙏 for my work supervisor who lives adjacent to Brown & is sheltering in place.
My heart is broken💔 for Brown U.

Baron von Steuben cracks me up. His temper, cursing in multiple languages, impatient... but determined and ultimately effective. I really enjoyed this book about him #HATM

Very glad the filmmakers included the experiences of Mary Campbell and other women assulted by soldiers. That's not always included in stories of the revolution. The depositions are hard to read, but necessary to read. #HATM

#OTD 5 years ago, I began working on a historical novella about James Armistead Lafayette. It's remained my best seller.
My next project is an essay collection of African American stories during the AmRev period (concept art below).

For those interested in learning more about the enslaved persons of Mount Vernon, cannot recommend this book enough. Mary Thompson dedicated her entire career to this subject. This book is incredible #HATM

Young Johnny Greenwood was away from his company at the start of the Battle of Bunker Hill because his mother (mentioned in the last episode) had come out of Boston to find him. He had to look after his mother. #HATM
