=======================================
Hey there, and welcome to my account!
=======================================

Some historical figures who I enjoy writing about include:

John Laurens
Richard Kidder Meade
Tench Tilghman
James McHenry
Alexander Hamilton
The Old Secretary (a.k.a. Robert Hanson Harrison)
Deborah Sampson
Pierre Du Ponceau
Benjamin Walker
William North
Just about any aide-de-camp of the American Revolutionary War, if I'm honest.

I also like talking about the Martha Laurens' (Martha Laurens Ramsay and Martha Manning Laurens) and a few of the generals of the revolution too (namely George Washington, the Marquis de la Fayette, and the Baron Von Steuben)!

In case you couldn't already tell, this account will probably be focused on 18th Century America (in particular the Revolutionary War).

I also enjoy writing about the ancient Phoenicians. I'll occasionally write about the Titanic era too. Maybe a little on food throughout the centuries, and possibly even something on fashion, music, and art at different points in time. Probably a bit on LGBT+ history as well.
