Two hundred and seventy years ago today King George III (June 4 1738-Jan 29 1820) of England was born. This was The Man who would win the Seven Years' War, and an empire, but lose his American colonies.
Today my friend Lucas Botkin and I will be interviewed on the radio with Mr. Bill Potter by Adam McManus. This is part of a series of "G. A. Henty" interviews that we have been doing over the course of last six months. The subject for today is one of G.A. Henty's more contreversial books True to The Old Flag. We hope to be able to elaborate on Hentys British view of the American War for Independence.
