Revolutionary Gazette

What a cool Labor Day! I ran into Mark, the drum major and founder of the The 1st Michigan Colonial Fife and Drum Corps. They have been a huge supporter of the gazette since we began by providing music for opening and closing each episode. We truly appreciate them!

Mark gifted me a pin that they are handing out in celebration of their 50th anniversary this year. Congratulations to the Corps! Thank you for what you do bringing music to history.

How can an old book tell us more than it’s reprint? How could it help us understand the Revolution?

Greetings all!
This is Will writing for the team. As we cross episode 17 of Season 8, I look back on the journey that is Civil War Digital Digest and am amazed at where we have come! Then, we added Revolutionary Gazette three years ago! Thank you all for being part of the journey with us, both in funding and in enjoying! It has grown so far past my wildest expectations when Jeremy and I started this.

That said, I have gone non-stop since we started. Both Jeremy and now Andy are wonderful friends and great team members. However, their skills are in the history world specifically. I am the on with the motion picture experience. I've shot all of the episodes and have edited about 80% of them. I'm pretty fried! LOL

To give me a brief rest, we have chosen to not release new content until early October. Rest assured we aren't going away, just taking a brief break! There are too many cool ideas already bouncing around my head and Andy pitched several more to me last night. You won't be surprised that Jeremy (who still reviews EVERY episode) has also offered some ideas.

In September, we will share a post every week - here, on our Patreon page and also the community tab of YouTube. We will share a different episode from the past each day. We hope this give you some historic entertainment while we re-charge and re-double our effort.
Thanks for the understanding and support!
Will, Andy and the team

Why do we work with as many people in the history trade as we can? Because good ideas come from everyone! More people involved makes history richer! Here is a "behind the scenes" clip from the upcoming Revolutionary Gazette episode. Thanks to Kevin Tobias for the great interview, and input! It's great to work with the various member institutions of ALHFAM! Enjoy this - and join us in the coming days for the new episode!
