To The Editor
Re -“The Eve of the Evacuation”: This is a spellbinding article by your writer, Sam Bishop which captivates your attention from pp. 5 ff, narrating the start of the assault by the American Continental Army on the city of Boston occupied by 11,000 British troops, who eventually would be forced to evacuate by sea. The details of the armies and commanders on both sides bring you right into the action, realizing how intricate these engagements were 250 years ago. And how decisions on both sides evolved, having a very modern aspect in our conflicts today. Really worth picking up this issue which covers weekly news of our Tri-Town area plus articles such as this. Sam Bishop follows the revolution in this way every week as it unfolded 250 years ago, so he brings you into how it really happened just like you were there. Please keep up your great work in our wonderful local magazine.
Many thanks from a long-time reader,
Steve Kokkins, Marion
