New Hamilton Weekly Podcast Series Begins November 1st
Step into the shoes of a young, fearless Alexander Hamilton, a penniless immigrant with a burning desire for freedom and glory. From the sweltering battlefield of Monmouth to the entrenched redoubts of Yorktown, you'll experience Hamilton’s unwavering determination, his heart-breaking separation from George Washington, and the sacrifices he made to forge a nation.
But this is more than a story of war; it's a tale of love, ambition, and the price of legacy. Discover the man behind the legend, the brilliance of his mind, and the intensity of his character.
It is an immersive, narrative history that follows Hamilton’s life and military service from the Battle of White Plains through to the British surrender at Yorktown. There is much to be inspired by and learned from Hamilton’s life. He was a larger than life founding father whose blueprint for America is the world we live in today. It all begins November 1st, only on Point of the Spear.

Washington Crossing Film Trailer #2
This was a hidden gem I came across and thought I would share with folks. It is the unreleased trailer, trailer #2 if you will of the America's First D-Day film - unreleased till now. I have released it in honor of the recent opening last month of the brand new Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.
What I love about this piece is it transports you back into the American Revolution instantly - to the snow that Christmas Eve, to the dying soldiers and misery. We spent a good deal of time in the film set-ups but the results were worth it.
Hopefully you will have a chance to not only visit this new museum but also check out this film which I wrote and directed for the Continental Film Alliance in Pennsylvania. It is one I am very proud of. Click on the cover art below or America's First D-Day to check it out.

Hamilton at War
Free today at Amazon
As the story opens, young Alexander Hamilton marches with the Continentals at Fort Lee, New Jersey. He is frustrated by being relegated to the end of the line and missing out on the action. He desperately wants to make a name for himself. His fortunes soon change at the Raritan River when the vanguard of British infantry catches up to Washington's army.
Hamilton, and his cannons are the only defense line available to prevent the army from being destroyed. Successfully protecting the Continental army and allowing their escape with his rear-guard action, Hamilton catches the attention of George Washington.
The future President asks the twenty-year-old Hamilton to join his staff. Sent on one daring mission after another Hamilton s stature grows, creating great political mistrust among his rivals. When ambition overtakes Hamilton, he threatens to overthrow Congress, which he sees as corrupt. Challenging a Congressman to a duel who views Hamilton as treasonous immigrant his world nearly self-destructs.
With the end of the American Revolution looming and his visions of his own glory fading, Hamilton becomes determined to leave Washington s staff and return to the battlefield. Washington, the only man who can help him, does all in his power to deny him. One daring assignment remains, however, that will determine the outcome of the final battle and the entire war. It is at a place called Yorktown.
Washington's Crossing: America's First D-Day
Free today at Amazon
Late December 1776.
A ragged Continental army has now put an icy river between themselves and the pursing British army. The men in blue and buff uniforms have known nothing but defeat and had once again made a narrow escape while the Congress at Philadelphia reflecting no confidence in their troops prepare to evacuate to Baltimore.
Washington’s besieged men reflect the state of a nation weary of war and a cause on the brink of extinction. They are an army in waiting - waiting for ammunition, blankets and reinforcements. But others, nearly half, are simply waiting for their enlistments to be up on January 1, 1777. Within days Washington would have no men with which to fight and the cause and the dream of independence would be over.
This is the backdrop of one of the most daring surprise attacks in American history - Washington's crossing of the Delaware and the subsequent victory at Trenton. Told in an urgent narrative style, Washington's Crossing: America's First D-Day, reveals the cast of characters and many untold aspects of the Crossing that made the victory even that much more incredible.
