April was a short month for JAR as we returned from spring break with our “Runaway a Day” series. In short time we still welcomed four new writers—Bruce Ware Allen, Nichole Louise, Jason Glasser and R. Paul Mason—who contributed some excellent articles. The fine folks at Fort Plain Museum have announced the impressive line-up for their Third Annual Conference of The American Revolution in the Mohawk Valley. It sounds like another can’t-miss experience complete with two bus tours, reception, ten fascinating presentations and a tavern/colonial dinner. The weekend event is being held June 8-11; click here to register. Our collectible Annual Volume 2017 was published this month and in a few weeks we’ll be unveiling our next book series book, Invasion of Virginia, 1781, by Michael Cecere.
