Continuing on with my entries on researching Revolutionary, I just added a section on a road trip I took up to spots in New York: West Point, New Windsor, Newburgh, and other places where Deborah Sampson was stationed or fought. There are lots of pictures as well as explanations for how these sites influenced my writing and revision. Check it out via the tab above. And... for those who aren't sure it's worth the tab click, here's a sample photo to entice you: a shot of me at New Windsor, standing next to a reconstruction of one the cabins. Now imagine you're a woman, disguised as a man, living in one of these (along with a dozen other soldiers) for an entire winter in 1782!
