THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION PERSONS RESEARCH PROCESS & FORM
The Process For Researching American Revolution Persons
1. Take a look at the LIST OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION PERSONS that Mr. Ladabouche has compiled. It is not complete, but it is a really large selection to choose from. Just click on the picture of George Washington:
2. Links to American Revolution Persons will be available on the list page that is accessible by clicking on George. Those names with the blue color link up to a page with one or more links about that person. Those names in black [not having links] can be researched by search engines. Mr. Ladabouche has left some suggestions for those on the bottom of both this page and the page with the big list of persons.
3. You must think about the following considerations when choosing the persons you will research:
a. they did something that really affected the outcome of an event in the war
b. that event was important in affecting the outcome of the war
c. the person is not one of the person we always, ALWAYS, hear about, like George Washington
d. in addition to the information in b. and c., you should try to find some other interesting, entertaining facts about this person
e. you must also use this person's information to come up with a good reason or reasons as to why the sponsors might want to choose this person to feature in the memorial.
Here is an example of what I am asking for. Click on this line to see it.
4. Now you have done your research job for this person of the American Revolution. When you are organized enough to do it neatly, look at the required AMERICAN REVOLUTION PERSON FORM below. The team will use it later when they narrow down and select their final suggested historic person. CLICK HERE for a copy of that form which can be printed.
