The latest issue of American Ancestors focuses on the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, providing historical context and exploring its legacy. The issue also includes articles on courts-martial records from the Revolutionary War, the upcoming series of 250th anniversaries marking milestone Revolutionary events, and the examination of painful aspects of shared history, such as the exposure of a Jewish family to criticism and the documentation of enslaved people in colonial Plymouth. Additionally, the issue features a genetics column, a state spotlight on New Jersey, and an article on an eighteenth-century fireback. The planned articles on key events in New England in 1623 and 1624 have been postponed to next year. [Extracted from the article] |
