Watched this on CSPAN tonight and purchased the bok right after - a bit pricy but I think it is worth it. Nothing like having a study of German troops done by a German historian. Having German hertiage in my family I avoided texts on the Hessians simply because they seem very dated and not very thorough examinations. Finally there is a source that is worth purchasing.
Definitely have to make a trip to Philadelphia - Museum of the American Revoltion and the many sites related to that period. George Gordon Meade related sites, G.A.R. museum. philly cheese steak!!!
Ya know...Sir Edward Coke (Petition of Rights) became The Parliament Bill of Rights honored by The Magna Carta after The Glorious Revolution of 1688, The English Civil War, The Great Puritan Migration, The 30 Years' War, Guy Fawkes Day, and from the time King Henry The VIII was officially excommunicated from The Roman Catholic Church by Pope Paul III in 1538 (encyclopedias). Of course, our Founding Fathers cited The Magna Carta often when creating our U.S. Constitution, U.S. Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, and a person's guaranteed right to a trial by jury.
Ruler of Hesse Kassel was King Frederick II who married Princess Landgravine (died: January 15th, 1772), the daughter of King George The II. "To George Washington from Johann Christoph Koehler 1780" or Journals of The House of Commons, Vol. 23, page 488, pub. 1803, by The Parliament of Great Britain. Why are you neglecting to mention that? Message by a descendant of Roger Williams, once a student of Sir Edward Coke?
Very interesting indeed.
