Author Notes:Ben Thompson is the author of Guts & Glory: The American Civil War , Guts & Glory: The Vikings , Guts & Glory: World War II , and Guts & Glory: The American Revolution . For more than ten years, he has been producing humorous, history-related material, including articles for publications such as Military Times and for organizations like the American Mustache Institute. Ben is named after Benjamin Franklin, but this hasn't bestowed him with any supernatural knowledge of the American Revolution. He had to research it the old-fashioned way.
