Glad you enjoyed. I should also note that the "Facts are Inconvenient Things" feature does reference some geographic bits — such as the Grainery Burial Ground — all of which still exist. In fact, I've taken people to the Grainery Burial Ground (it's on the Freedom Trail) and their a little taken a-back by this 17th Century burial ground in the middle of these really tall modern buildings.

And, of course, the Adams house still exists.

I was also happy to see that the mini-series got the ambiguity of Bunker Hill correct. The Massachusetts Militia ultimately lost Bunker Hill in real battle terms, but they also scared the crap out of the British troops because it was a Hamburger Hill-type victory.

You can tell this is a favorite subject.
