    -Stated in the preface, Leonard L. Richards had heard the standard story of Shays's Rebellion time and time again. While finding a last-minute book for his class, he discovered in a footnote that the Massachusetts Archives had the names of the Shaysites,not just the names of the leaders, but some four thousand names. With most rebellions, finding out who participated is difficult, making this unusual. Again by accident, Richards learned that the university library had the pertinent state archives
