The University of Chicago Press allows free download of one e-book each month. October's book is Black Patriots and Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence, the story of slaves who fought with the rebellion and expected freedom, and those who fought with the British for freedom as a promised reward.
The download is available in several formats. I don't think it's required to sign up on the UC Press e-mail list to download the book. I've been on the e-mail list for quite a while and just don't remember. Even if it is, it'll be worthwhile to get the book, and then you can unsubscribe.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
