and they were gradually tearing up cornwallis is army. and he retreats expecting the royal navy to save him. and washington has this note. the french general says i am under your command. he managed to mask the british in manhattan, so they don't know that washington is on the move and think he is still sitting there. washington have to raise that money to pay the army to keep moving. that is how close is this. the only time in the entire war that washington is described as intentionally emotional is when he sees the french fleet where he is described as acting as though he was crazy and he has gambled everything. he had no way of knowing if it would show up. and they were there when the british one. when cornwallis surrender, the band plays the world turned upside down, and it was. it into the reagan library tonight, please made for man leaving freedom that this soviet empire disappeared. i came to talk about the man on whose shoulders we all stand, george washington. i've seen each of you and every republican in the entire country, find

we don't seem to come forward please to devon and cornwall. police as a matter of urgency. so we can continue with our investigation as get the latest from our reporter in plymouth and john henderson who john joins me now. john what more are we hearing from the please. not a great deal at the moment. fairly light police presence here this is the short. concerned were last night at about quarter to seven. man enters the betting shop. wearing apparently a gas mask. when phone parent lee also had them what looks like a pistol as you heard there from the police officer. was immediately set upon by a couple of the customers. managed to wrestle him to the ground. and i've just spoken to a chap who came into the shop. immediately after that and was he was he saw this and he saw two people holding the chap down. didn't see any gas mask apparently. but he was then asked to leave the shop immediately by the people who were inside he said those two people holding the chap down. so what happened was the police were called they arrived. they quickly realized that it was a slight problem

tommy was the son and heir to over 70,000 acres of estate both in england and cornwall.as the most eligible bachelor in paris and london. i should say he was with this place. my goodness. very much. he was an incredible character. he was m.p. for the local area. he championed the use of volunteer forces at the lead up to the great war. he himself was in the devon yeomanry. when war broke out he insisted that he went to the front. he joined the royal bucks hussars. to his horror, they were stationed in england. so he joined the first battalion coldstream guards. he went to the front and sadly died under fire in no man's land. this is the case that he took with him? this is a typical dressing case of the period. it's crocodile skin. it's leather fittings. fitted out by asprey and co. of london. we got these wonderful monogrammed bottles. and what are in all these? we got his powders. presumably, this is a talcum powder in here. we got his tooth powders in here. it's exactly as he left it. and what about these wooden bottles here? these are just carrier bottles. of particul

it happens that one of the ship in the fleet is commanded by cornwallis' younger brother. which thing brings note last bucket discovery. what i would call paper and preservation discovery. prior to 1870 before the transsuggestion to wood pulp. they were printed on paper-made of linen rags off the backs of people and the ship sails. this is rags were oiled and fisted to the sheets of paper and the durability of the paper prays the role in the preservation. we can find 250-year-old newspaper in better condition than say last week's "boston globe" who is probably already yellowing and brilgt. thanks to the rag less rag linen paper and thanks to the constitution that bound them to the volumes we have the wonderful printed accounts of what transpired during the american revolution. what i tend to do is look for newspapers that other might consider trash. they are extremely beat up. they have holes. they lived a long life, and through fire and flood and war and so they're torn and tattered a little bit. i partnered with one of the top paper people out of d.c. who is the head of

. >>> new year's eve off the coast of cornwall of the uk.he royal national lifeboat institution at it again. heroes this time. this is a last gas rescue attempt of a fisherman who got swept off the cliffs. reports say he was in the water for about an hour, the search was on. here is the footage of the last few seconds of the search where they spot the guy finally. >> what's that in the water in front of us, port side, port side. >> 20 meters, keep going, keep going, ten meters. slow it down. slow it down. >> as they approach him, though, the camera breaks because of the stress of this rescue. but you do see the fisherman appear towards the left of the lifeboat. they pull him out. he is recovering at the hospital. >> guys, hacky sack is not just for college games outside the dorms. hook at this. this is jan weber. he's not hacky sack. this is the proper name, foot bag. he's a six-time world champion in food bag freestyle and a multiple time champion. look what he's doing. when you watch it in realtime you almost can't tell what he's doing. th

it just so happened that canada is commanded by cornwallis' younger brother. which then brings me to the last bucket of discovery. so what i would call paper and preservation discoveries. prior to 1870, before transition to what pope, newspapers are printed on rockland stock, paper made primarily off the backs of the colonists, what people wore his clothes. these bags were oiled and poked him ultimately sifted into the sheets of paper and the durability of the paper plays a significant role in the preservation in that today we can find 250 open newspapers in better position than last week's "boston globe," which is probably yellowing impartial. thanks to the paper on which they are printed and thanks to the institution for long-term storage, we have these printed accounts of what transpired during the american revolution. what i tend to do is look for newspapers others might consider trash that are extremely beat up, households, lived a long life enter fire and flood and warner are torn and tattered a little bit. i partnered with one of the top conservators ou

between california and cornwall street, fifth avenue and fourth avenue in the richmond district. he assured the neighbors who were very agast at the idea of these old cable cars being set up that they would be very tasteful and artistic. and essentially, yeah, it was like one room with a little bathroom attached made up of old cable cars. dr. cross thought he was hitting on something. there were hundreds of thousands of people who were homeless, looking for new places to live in the aftermath of the earthquake and fire. so he thought why not use these old cable cars. it only lasted about 10, 12 years. guess it wasn't a big hit. he built a more conventional apartment building after that to replace it. it really was the 1906 earthquake and fire that sort of spelled the end of carville. you have these hundreds of thousands of people looking for new homes, suddenly displaced. now they might listen to these men and say, look, you were renting before. you don't want to live there. i've got this lot out here, sand dune. but it's $100. you can build a house here for cheap. suddenly, more

journal printed in philadelphia, where the entire front page is dedicated to news of the surrender of cornwallis in poetry. advertising is also something that struck me in the sense that there are a lot of advertisements for runaway slaves, indentured servants for sale for soldiers. david mccullough is an advocate for primary sources and the general public and students reading primary sources and what he says is that these deserted soldiers advertisements in newspapers or where we get a lot of the information about what the uniforms look like. they are describing the soldiers that had deserted. another adjusting advertisement that struck me was in the january 20, 1770 issue of the pennsylvania ledger. here we have 10 days after the first publication of thomas paine's common sense, one of the first advertisements for common sense. there it is. what was interesting to me about this particular edition is that in the same newspaper is another advertisements for a new edition of common sense, which suggests just how quick he this pamphlet is moving. which brings me to the history discoveries. no taxa

there's something sad about it too because it's this collectivization it's almost working like the cornwallis all of us were writing wise it's own laws and i like to visit basically these independent operators are basically forced to either join a large corporation so corporations or larger networks they're the ones the chains are the ones who are going to survive we've seen a lot less than a lot of companies in america actually operate in america and move to canada because they don't have to pay the cost of health insurance if we go to a single payer system those companies might come back to america would not be a good thing i'm not sure a lot of those wendy's are going to move to canada about the toyota that there is lots of employers who you know if they're having to compete with low wage nations that don't provide health insurance would be a much easier burden them if they didn't have to provide health insurance either which is offered by the government although see it we'll see how it plays out more of politics panel coming up right after this break. well. it's technology innovation all

one of the most, i suppose important books or writers of books in cornwall is represented by these pagesmrs. r. horrell." that's not obviously who i'm talking about, but it's jamaica inn and all these are pictures of jamaica inn. so tell me about it. why have you got this album, devoted to jamaica inn? well, my uncle charles horrell, was actually born in jamaica inn. really? yes. his parents owned jamaica inn, and they had people stay at the bed and breakfast and one of the guests that they had was daphne du maurier. who wrote jamaica inn. interesting, they didn't realize that she was actually writing the book at the time and it was only when daphne du maurier sent the book to mr. and mrs. horrell saying that she had enjoyed her stay there that it all came to light that she was actually writing a book at that time. so how far are we from jamaica inn? it's just on the a30 about 20 minutes away, i think. and i noticed with it you've got this copy-- not a very nice copy of the first edition of jamaica inn. it's obviously been well read, but it does have the most stunning inscription in it.

and then, when he was working between his birmingham factory and the mines down in cornwall he was travelingards and forwards a lot and he obviously needed to have his documents copied. so the only way to do that would be to write the letter and then write a copy, send the letter off, and keep the copy for his files. very time-consuming. being a great engineer he thought i want to find something simple that works and i can actually copy my letters without having to actually hand write them again. so he developed this and it was patented back in 1780. and this came into production about 1790. so it's well over 200 years old. and how it works is, although i haven't got a letter i've got a great antiques roadshow brochure here. you would have written your letter in a special ink and then you would have wetted a tissue, and i think we've got some tissues somewhere. probably at this side. there we are. oh, there's some letters here, as well. the drying book. you would have wetted the tissue, and then you would've put the letter and the tissue together, put it on here, and then you would have woun

american revolution , they usually conclude with the battle of yorktown in 1781 and which lord cornwallis surrendered about seven dozen trips to general washington, and there is no doubt this was a massive setback for the british war effort. but the fact remains that even surrender in seven dozen trips to washington, the british still had tens of thousands more troops in north america, and they could have some of tens of thousands more from other parts of the empire if they had decided to do so. but they were not able to do so because of the power of a new force and in search of warfare, a term that was all the point fatefully in 1776, the power of public opinion. now, if the founding fathers had been battling not the british empire, but the roman empire, i can assure you that the romans, no matter how many battlefield defeats they suffered, would have come back. george washington, the founders, would have been crucified quite literally. the fact that this did not happen is because of what happened in an institution that the romans did not have to worry about, at least not after the rise
