New York Freedom Trail

Fourth of July weekend is almost here.  Many of us will be heading into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or elsewhere in New York City to take advantage of the fun and festivities. While you're taking a much needed break from work or bar exam outlines, don't miss the Revolutionary War history right on your path to that museum, restaurant, or family gathering.  New York Freedom Trail is a quick virtual tour of 19 New York City Revolutionary War sites, with photos, a simple map, and public transit directions for each one. There's enough information to make each site interesting while keeping to the essentials.  So before you head out, be sure to take a look at New York Freedom Trail online, or take along the Kindle version available from Amazon.com.
