The American Revolution - Episode 1 - A Dangerous Game

David and Loremaster Bryan8063 launch special coverage of PBS's Ken Burns miniseries The American Revolution, providing immediate reactions to the first episode. Bryan brings advanced degrees in history and library science, experience as a research librarian at Monticello, and work as an interpretive ranger at the James Garfield home. The discussion explores how Burns frames the mythology of the Revolution, the surprising violence and hardship portrayed, and George Washington's remarkable survival through multiple conflicts. This quick-reaction format will run nightly through the six-episode series, culminating in a roundtable discussion with Marilyn R. Pukkila to examine the historical storytelling and its connection to the upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations. Contact Us Questions or comments?
