BLAST FROM THE PAST--MR. BILLY LEE (PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION)

Image
                                                                        Mr. Billy Lee (on the right) MORE RESEARCH was needed for my vignette because my producer, Bradley Hirou, asked me to do a screen write of my book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole,   OK-- grateful for the opportunity.  Mr. Billy Lee was not only gifted but a war hero.  Commander George Washington had at least two aides:  Alexander Hamilton was given due credit of being an aide to Washington in the Revolution, and historians of the day and today have missed the importance of  his other aide Warrant Officer Mr. Billy Lee, who just happened to have saved Washington's life at least two times with his carbine (slaves were not allowed to carry a gun).

  This blog is written by me because it has been posted on Facebook and Instagram and I wanted to feature some of my art on my Mayor Molly McMole Adventures blog also.  This is a collage, mixed media, montage of Laguna Pueblo, off the I-40.  Many times I put the moon and sun in the painting.

Not right away though, it took 4 years of research, fantasy based on fact,  She made the Revolution and George Washington and Mr,. Billy Lee people we can relate to.  Besides learning about the Revolution  there is a game you can play--how many owls can you find. 42 illustrations and she believes there are  13 owls, can you find all 13? Well, she is coming from her studio so I have to jump down my mole hole and see how my mole tribe is doing.  Visit her at Strieby.org and you can see her in videos and many of her  paintings Her Instagram page is Strieb_333 Find her books on Amazon/Kindle, Soooo long, Mayor Molly McMole,  MMM #americanrevolution #georgewashington #mrbillylee #spy #massterspy #wnyisaspycalledamole #ameridanhistory #horse #...
