Who writes these articles?

Most of the articles are written by members of the Sons of the American Revolution, an historical, educational, and patriotic organization that seeks to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, an appreciation for true patriotism, and a respect for our national symbols.  The authors are amateur historians acutely interested in the period of our American Revolution, because they had ancestors who were actively engaged in the Cause.

Are the articles accurate?

Most of the articles carry annotations, sources and/or bibliographies.  They are a great source of accurate information appropriate for referencing in a high school term paper or research project.
