Thanks for the clarification.

My expertise in American History pretty much stops when The General died in 1799. I just remember reading accounts of Monroe's charging the Hessian artillery at Trenton, Dec. 26, 1776 and being quite impressed at the young man's fearlessness.

Ditto that. Also remember another very young man (only 20 years old) who played a very decisive part of that battle -- Alexander Hamilton

They were some amazing people.
