Show Notes

Serena Zabin joins us to talk abut her great book, The Boston Massacre: A Family History,.  Who were the soldiers from the 29th Regiment, and what kinds of relationships did they have with the citizens of Boston before March 5, 1770?  Hint:  At least 40 married Boston women, and a hundred brought infants to be baptized at King's Chapel.  Think you know the story of the Massacre?  Think again.  And we hear about the computer game, Witness to a Revolution, that Serena Zabin and her Carleton College students are creating.
