It's an answer to a different thread, but I like the story of your handle very much

Thank you. It was a poem I had heard when in school. I had forgotten the poem until 2 yrs. ago when we were visiting Monticello. In the gift shop I bought a book titled "American History Stories you never read in school". It is a wonderful book! It contained the poem, which was based on a true story and many other wonderful nuggets. My favorite one is the capture of General Prescott. He was a tyrant in the British army and our brave Americans showed savvy in capturing him. I bought the book for my daughter but it seems to stay in my room! I pick it up from time to time just to reread the stories.
