Very recommendable!
Thomas Paine one of the least known and celebrated heroes of the American Revolution! Thomas Paine was quite a character! This blog is in honor of Thomas Paine!
Did you know that Paine was a tinkerer and inventor like Benjamin Franklin?
Or that he was the first Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the U.S.?
Did you know that as a member of the French national assembly after the revolution of 1789, he tried to save the king's life by defying Robespierre and suggesting to exile the king to the U.S., because he would be celebrated there as a supporter of the American Revolution?
Did you know that the first comprehensive biography of TP was perhaps not written before 1892 (Paine died in 1809)?
