INTRODUCTION

Time must never forget how our great country was founded, nor the people of those times, for they are the core of us all.

    I want to welcome back each of you who have been coming to my web-site for nearly six years now, and for you new viewers for the first time. I have re-designed a New Site, and felt it was time for a face lift.
    As before, I still want to give you a site that I have a passion for on Colonial History of the French and Indian War, as well as the American Revolution. I will be adding more articles, as well as pictures as time goes on.
    Since I own, and control this site, I'll only have links that I believe are useful, and are listed separately, and will stay there for your use. I will maintain a simple, but interesting site. I'm not a flashy man, or like all the nonsense on the sides of many web pages.
    So welcome back, and enjoy.

    My main goal in having my web site, is bring to you my books, and my articles of this time period, and I hope to ignite a passion for this time in history. Over the years I have had many school children visit, and read my site. I hope I have sparked some interest in this time period. I hope they will want to learn more, and visit my links that will take them to a more in depth area of interest. I also hope they will go to their local libraries, and where they will find many great books on the American Revolution.
    I want the next generation to know how this great country was founded, not just reading two pages in the school history books. I want them to know why we celebrate July 4th. and read how our colonies suffered so much to gain their independence. If we loose the next generation interest in this country, then America will also be lost. We must start now, and teach them in detail what the American Revolution was all about, and spend more time teaching them what we have, and the freedom we gained by the suffering of the early colonies went through. Our children deserve to know about our founding fathers, and the Constitution, and not just turning the pages of their history books.
    The future of this country starts in the class rooms, and we must teach them all that we can,and guide them to become as strong as our early colonist were, and to be proud to be an American, so they can teach their children.
    I'm the 9th. generation of Robert Flint the Pioneer, and my patriotism is as strong as it was for my ancestors who fought the many bloody battles in the Mohawk Valley, fighting for their freedom during the American Revolution. I hope, that the next generation will feel as strong, and will become our next generation of militia, who will keep this country free, and strong.

In the many pages that will follow, I'll try to show you the pictures I have taken on my book signing tours along the Mohawk River of the great men, and women who are as passionate as I am for this time in our history, and who will go week after week to participate in the many reinactments, as well as the tradesmen selling, and showing their fine colonial wares.
These hard working people are what made this country, and I hope they never fade into history.
