245 years ago today, the British surrendered at Yorktown.
My fifth great-grandfather, Siméon Gaugien, was 20. He had spent the siege working a French cannon.
He wasn't famous. He fought for us.
Two books. One family. 245 years.

245 years ago, the Siege of Yorktown began. My ancestor Siméon Gaugien was there, a 20-year-old French artilleryman fighting for American independence.
Today, his story is a children’s book.
Next Stop America, for ages 7–11. amzn.to/4z0UUYg
Today is the United Nations International Day of Charity.
Generosity matters, but so does how we give. Effective philanthropy requires strong nonprofit partners, accountability, and a clear focus on improving lives and communities.
