It's not only the beginning of our country, but a time when so much was in transition. Thanks. I'll be sure to look this up.<br />I also agree with you about research.

It portrays a naval battle between France and England on July 23, 1778, which took place less than a year from when Valley of the Shadow is set. It's perfect for the story and was a serendipitous find! J. M.
