'F&I devotees,' Part III: OK, so this post isn't about the French and Indian War. But it is about muskets, Redcoats and war. A Hub Blog brother recently visited the Saratoga Historic Battlefield and said it was one of the most beautiful and best preserved battlefields he's ever been to. ... And, yes, the Battles of Saratoga rank among the most decisive in world history.
Update -- Excited to learn more about Saratoga, Hub Blog just used an old Amazon gift certificate to buy Richard Ketchum's 'Saratoga.' I also threw into the gift-certificate shopping cart Ketchum's 'Decisive Day,' David McCullough's '1776,' John Scalzi's sci-fi 'Old Man's War' and James Stewart's 'Disney War' (at the recommendation of John Ellis). War, war, war. Do you think there's a pattern here?
