In honor of the day…
2008.04.19
Today is the anniversary of the Shot Heard Round the World. As such, I offer the following links in a spirit of celebration and contemplation:
The Sons of Liberty RPG. A fast-paced game of crazy, over-the-top, steampunk Revolutionaries fighting the British Man. Though, as the game points out, if you think that’s crazy, consider what the real Founders actually did, and you’ll have to admit that was pretty crazy and over-the-top, too. (Photos are here.)
In his own words: Paul Revere describes his midnight ride.
Another account of April 18-19, 1775.
Finally, an old press release from General Gage.
