AMERICAN HISTORY
THE PEOPLE, PLACES, & THINGS of AMERICAN HISTORY...
Do you know who John Trumbull was and what part he played in our history? Most people could not give me a correct answer to this, a shame, since he was in fact the man who painted many of Washington's Portraits, Jefferson, the Battles of the American Revolution, oh and the Painting "Declaration of Independence" a print of which can be found on the reverse side of the Two-Dollar Bill. John Trumbull was there at the battles of our revolution and he seen and captured it all in his work. Yet his name is relatively unknown, a pity.
I created the American History section to bring to light some of the lesser known but just as important people, places, & things of American History that I feel have been unjustly minimized or in some cases criticized. I provide this section for all and allow anybody to use it as needed. American History is not just about times, dates, or the well known, it is in fact a treasure of information, knowledge, and lessons learned. I hope you enjoy this section, it will grow as we go, and more information will be added to existing entities as we locate more.
