Dear Humans,

I learned about the American Revolution in 3rd grade and 5th grade and 8th grade and 11th grade and as a freshman in college and then again as a senior in college. And when I was out of college I got on a kick where I read a bunch of Joseph Ellis and David McCullough books. 

You could say I’ve spent my whole life learning about the American Revolution. And I still feel like I hardly know anything.

But, because I’ve spent an entire lifetime learning how to learn about the American Revolution, I have a pretty good idea how to learn new things, connect them to old things, and use them to explain something about this complex world we live in.

So, if you ask me trivia questions about the Battle of Saratoga, I probably won’t know the answer. But I will know how to find it out.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
