“ No I wasn’t, but I did see that G.Washington used them to terrify the Red Coats at the Battle of Trenton. There are many monuments around the Princeton Battlefield testifying to the bravery of the Woollies.”

Many who are ignorant of history aren’t aware of the Washington designed double barrel mammoth .
This ingenious design featured two canons mounted on a mammoth, secured on a yoke made of sturdy Virginia oak.
The fearsome beasts could march right at the British defenses and the redcoats would flee in terror .
Washington wrote about the importance of this in the same section he mentions how he was inspired to create the Norden bombsight.

Unfortunately, all those inventions of the past were stolen by Chief Sitting Bull (and his expert Chinese spys) who used them against the hapless Custer to great effect.
