American Spirit 150:4 (Jul/Aug 2016) includes a number of
articles of likely interest to our genealogists.
Photosharing Etiquette (p. 10) provides five guidelines for
sharing images on the web.
The Regulation Movement (pp. 26-30) details conflicts in
colonial North Carolina between farmers and corrupt local officials over
British laws, policies, and taxes. The conflicts took the form of petitions for
reform, disruption of local courts, and even an honest-to-goodness battle
(1771).
Playing in the Colonies (pp. 32-35) looks at toys and games
colonial-era children used to amuse themselves.
Marylanders at the Battle of Hobkirk’s Hill (pp. 41-48)
discusses a little-known battle in South Carolina that pitted colonial patriots
against Loyalists and British regulars. The author believes that the battle
deserves wider recognition since it helped set the stage for eventual Patriot
victory in that state.
