Historian Wrote "American Honor"
http://amzn.to/2wComsY
Views mine. www.craigbrucesmith.com
Long have I dreamed of a General Washington movie. It was just announced! The sequel to Young Washington. Assume it will be called General Washington (and focus on the Crossing) and then hopefully complete the trilogy with President Washington.

One of the most incredible things I have ever worked on: Recently discovered documents, written by John Dickinson in 1775, that reveal his secret and previously unknown efforts to prevent the American Revolution. Now featured in the New York Times.

How accurate is the new movie Young Washington? Watch as Edward Lengel, Colleen Shogan, Gregory Jackson and I have an in-depth conversation with the film's director Jon Erwin on the history versus storytelling in the movie.

1776 was important, but don't forget 1783! It formed the ideological foundation for the US military and preserved the Revolution's ideals. Had a fantastic time talking with Robert Allison on
