Hello, and thanks for joining Revolution 250.

This is where we remember events that took place 250 years ago this week.

It's a way of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War.

These short bonus episodes from the American Revolution

podcast remember these important anniversaries that took place this week. This week we remember

the Battle of Three Rivers in Quebec, which began on June 8, 1776. This episode is sponsored by the book, The Banker Who Made America, by Richard

Vague. The banker in question is Thomas Willing. When Robert Morris was getting his start in

Philadelphia, he went to work for Thomas Willing. Willing was the guy who taught Morris, and later

Alexander Hamilton, all about the world of banking and commerce.

This book is by Richard Vague, who was Pennsylvania's security secretary a few years ago.

In his book, he follows the money and helps us to understand how Willing stayed in the background

while guiding the birth of America's banking and financial systems.

Richard Vague sheds genuinely new light on the genesis of the American Republic,

as well as the enduring economic and political conflicts that still shape U.S. society today.
