h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm only going to have the travels of the Declaration of Independence entry for the first phase of the project. http://www.h2g2.com/A462511

For the second phase (the battles), I'm still working on Valley Forge.

Additionally, I'm nearly finished working offline on an entry about the British Invasion and Capture of Philadelphia. I expect to have break-out entries on the Battle of Brandywine, the Paoli Massacre and the Battle of Germantown.

I'm also doing a short biography of my favourite general - Mad Anthony Wayne. http://www.h2g2.com/A481682

I still plan to do something about Washington's Crossing of the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton.

I did a short entry on the 'Battle of the Barrels' which was a funny attempt to damage British ships in Philadelphia during their occupation of the city. http://www.h2g2.com/A477867

I might have one or two more entries up my sleeve, but that's where I'm at currently.

Thank you much, Jimi. I'll edit this page to reflect these, and when I have a destination for the other project, I'll put your blood and gore pieces up there.

As for the next project, the Hudson Campaign is already completed, I've already got all the research I need for Bunker Hill, Lexington, and Concord, and I found some good stuff on the Southern Campaign. If those get completed in fairly good time (and I suspect they will, despite having lost all my bookmarks when they replaced all the pc's at work) then I can continue on with the bio of Benedict Arnold, and the piece contrasting the military styles, tactics, and weapons of the combatants. I'm sure more will come out, too. It's a good thing they aren't overly concerned with deadlines, because, truth to tell, neither am I.

But as for this one, I ran into a snag when I lost my bookmarks. I can't find that page on John Adams and the state constitutions that replaced the colonial charters to save my life. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go on memory for that one...

Just promise me you'll call the 'Kentucky Rifle' by it's proper name - the Pennsylvania Rifle. It was invented here, popularized here, and I've got an original hanging by the fireplace.

Yes, my family has been here that long...

The Paoli Massacre is done. I've still got much work to do on the others, but when I finish them, I'll post the url's here:

The Paoli Massacre

Like the Battle of Germantown http://www.h2g2.com/A482429

Once I get the research done, the writing fairly flows...

Check out the thread to your left... the subedits are done. It's time to FINALLY wrap this one up.

LOL!

Mikey left me a note back at my personal space too. I've already uploaded the files to the appropriate entries.

I may be a slacker, but I *can* show bursts of industry from time to time.

You won't hear any slacker charges from me... I only just now uploaded my second article to the other project. I figured that Lexington and Concord would be such a short, simple piece... so why did that one balloon under my care, just as the other one did?

I guess I'll wander over to the University group, and let them know this one is finished. I should probably make the next project page look a little more professional now, since it's my main focus now. ... work, work, work...
