Discussion and Signing of Unlikely Allies by Joel Richard Paul at the Golden Triangle Borders book store

As the American colonists boldly declared their independence and geared up to do battle with the British, an unlikely triumvirate was at work behind the scenes, quietly securing the French alliance that would prove crucial to the success of the Revolutionary War. The all-but-forgotten story of this secret coalition between a Connecticut shopkeeper, a celebrated French dramatist and a cross-dressing chevalier is rescued from the dusty archives of history in the engaging new book, UNLIKELY ALLIES.
