Top 10 Articles of July 2014

July was another monumental month for Journal of the American Revolution. We exceeded 80,000 pageviews (our second best month since launch), hosted our fourth group interview and welcomed three new contributors: Joseph Manca, Jack Kelly and Mary Nesnay. Plus, we published our 1 millionth word! Word counts are a major part of our process as we strive to keep articles efficient and enjoyable. Since our January 2013 launch, we’ve published more than 400 articles. Assuming a 2500-words-per-article average, that means we recently published our 1 millionth word about the American Revolution!
