Field notes
The homepage moves from a ten-date chronology into sections on biography, the Revolution, contemporaries, and organizations, with separate gallery and resources links. It identifies colonial records and letters as its evidentiary base, and places a Bancroft passage beside a comparison to Samuel Adams. A quotation from Josiah Quincy Jr. and a hostile visitor’s description show the archive presenting sharply different accounts of Harnett.
