• DAR Meeting, January 2020
  This YouTube video tells about William R Davie.  It is carefully researched and gives an accurate portrayal of this founding father – cavalry commander, lawyer, legislator,  delegate to the US constitutional convention, president of North Carolina and ambassador to France and to Napoleon  Bonaparte.  It was made for the DAR celebration of Constitution week and is used by the DAR and various schools to teach this history lesson.  Although there are school children in the presentation is is my no means a child or young adult presentation.
