I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! I spent the holiday working on our March/April issue: reading manuscript, writing the quiz, getting photos, and organizing everything else for our Associate Editor, Benjamin.
He and I talked last Friday about how we were both impressed by the countless "untold" stories of soldiers, spies, generals, and Patriots who served during the American Revolution. Just last week, Benjamin received a phone call from a woman named Chris Weatherhead who has directed an independent movie--All For Liberty--about Captain Henry Felder, a courageous Patriot from South Carolina. So be on the lookout for an article on this movie in an upcoming issue.
We also invite you to submit stories on your Patriot ancestors. Where did they serve? How did the conflict affect them? Did they have a pension, or leave behind a diary or letters that give personal insight on the war? If so, please consider sharing their stories with us. You can contact me at editor@patriotsar.com
