Thank you so much for posting this fascinating story from American history!

Dave, I thought you might like to ping homeschooling folk, or know a keeper of such a list.

Salomon died in 1785, of tuberculosis, caught while in a British prison.

This, along with many additional details of this Polish Jew's life from here.

This link will help I think for the sake of the Homeschooling idea, and I would suggest that included in this story would be a story regarding the creation of the Great Seal of the United States.

It is not well known that located above the symbol for America, the eagle on the Seal (as seen on the back of a US 1$ bill), is the Seal of Solomon (and Salomon really does sound a LOT like Soloman, no?).

I don'thave the proof, for all the homework I have done didn't reveal which artist was credited w/ arranging the required 13 stars in that configuration, but perhaps it is no coincidence that the Star of David on our Seal forshadowed indeed what happened so many years later in Jerusalem.

Mr. H. S. would be pleased to know that, maybe, he was honored in a rather permanent way.

I'm thinking, also, that had there been tracks available, this fundraiser for the Revolution would have been a golfer.
