Myths of the American Revolution...

One of the things that fascinates me about reading history is the way each historian casts his or her own filters on their telling of the tale.  It's a rare historian who doesn't edit (especially by omission) the story to better fit their own notions and preconceptions.  The omitted bits often relate more of the objective reality of any particular historical event than the celebrated and generally recorded bits.  So I especially cherish those historical accounts whose very purpose is to relate those often omitted bits.  This article is of that genre, though I know (from other reading) that some of the “realities” mentioned are not particularly well documented, and may not actually be true.  It's still interesting reading, and provokes one to reflect about how history gets made...
