During the winter of 1775-1776, Boston bookseller, Henry Knox, was tasked by General Washington to retrieve captured British artillery from Fort Ticonderoga. Join host Jim Griffith and Dr. Matt Keagle, curator of Fort Ticonderoga, as they discuss Knox's incredible feat which was the catalyst that prompted General Howe to abandon Boston.

Jim Griffith and Dr. Puakea Nogelmeier discuss how the discovery of the 'Sandwich Islands' by Captain James Cook in 1778, led Hawaii's King to move from an absolute monarchy to one in which 'all men are equal'. Much of this change came from learning about America's Constitution and the Bill of rights.

Welcome to The Colorado Society

Sons of the American Revolution

As President of the Colorado Society, Sons of the American Revolution, I extend to you a personal thank you for visiting our website. Our society was formed in 1889 and is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and teaching American history to future generations.

We are a male lineage society whose members can trace lineal descent to a man or woman who provided service in the war of independence. We are active in the community with our support for Eagle Scouts, ROTC, and our classroom activities, including the “Patriot Chest” presentation.

Our society fosters camaraderie among its members. If you would like to join our society or have other questions we would love to hear from you. I remain, humbly,

Yours to serve,

Hilton Martin, President
