Top 10 Articles of August 2014

Journal of the American Revolution (JAR) takes great pride in its mission to be the leading source of information about the American Revolution and Founding era — a mission worth emphasizing during the back to school month of August. In a world of increasing historical illiteracy and apathy, JAR publishes passionate, creative and smart content intended to make history more palatable. In August, we welcomed Bob Ruppert, Bethany Collins and Hershel Parker as new contributors [learn more about writing for JAR]. We also said hello to our newest advertiser, the American Revolution Round Tables. With numerous meeting locations and fun events, the Round Tables are an excellent way to explore, discuss and share knowledge about the American Revolution [learn more about advertising with JAR].
