Well, unfortunately the #HATM thread broke for me, but I loved the movie & reading everyone's reactions!

My history birbs attentively watched this one too. I've raised them well 💅Named them after my favorite pirates from my masters' thesis:

Green - Anne Bonny
Yellow- Jack Rackham
Blue- Mary Read

Sadly no, but we did get an incredible portrayal of William Lee, George Washington's enslaved valet, throughout the show-- portrayed by the incredible Gentry White! #hatm

Can't remember if I shared this or not, but since most have seen the Ken Burns American Revolution doc now, here are a few fun photos from the special preview event at Mount Vernon! We had a blast! #HATM #PBS

The TURN: Washington's Spies version of the storming of redoubts 9 & 10 #HATM
November 22, 2025 at 2:19 AM
That he does! Lol #HATM

Since we're coming up on the Redoubt 10 mention -- one of my favorite moments in the Battle of Yorktown!

Took these photos last November. Looking forward to a return trip next week! #HATM

Simcoe was definitely a favorite. They did a phenomenal job casting in that show!! #HATM

I am in my happy place. For reasons that should be very obvious at this point. Although, "poor" Tarleton is about to have a really, really bad time here #HATM
November 22, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Well, I don't think I'll get my Banastre Tarleton content until episode 6, but since I won't be able to tune in tomorrow night with the #HATM crew... here it is now. From the American Revolution Museum in Philly in 2021

Agreed. The artist of all my historical fiction novels is a lovely woman from Budapest named Zsofia (got to spend a couple weeks with her in Budapest last year). She's taught me so much about the Hungarian efforts in the AmRev... and showed me their George Washington statue! #HATM

Love me a good Don Troiani painting. Battle of Kingsbridge is a favorite #HATM

Baron von Steuben cracks me up. His temper, cursing in multiple languages, impatient... but determined and ultimately effective. I really enjoyed this book about him #HATM
November 21, 2025 at 1:28 AM
Every time they mention Yorktown I immediately start geeking out-- y'all are so lucky I will not be able to join tomorrow night for the final episode. I am afraid I would be insufferably annoying about it #HATM

JOHN LAURENS MENTION!!! Okay I'm loving this episode a lot more already. Granted, they are talking about all of my favorite historical figures so...def biased.

Photo I took of the wax figure of Laurens located in the Museum of the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, VA #HATM

1st Rhode Island Regiment mention!!!!!! #HATM
November 21, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Love seeing the Mount Vernon advertisement and my friend Don Francisco in the intro to every episode!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! We had a blast at the special preview and got to see Ken Burns and the CEO of PBS in person!!! #MountVernonFam #HATM

Gettin the vibes right on this chilly evening! 30 minutes until episode 5 of the #PBS #KenBurns American Revolution documentary! See y'all soon! #HATM
