I started out with a small biography of The General and went on to read about 15 more. The more I learned about him, the more I loved and respected the man. It took me a few years of reading to finally feel that I "knew" the man, and what I knew made me think that he was one of the greatest men who ever lived.

As it's said,you can judge a man by his enemies, but he had few; and the worst that the revisionist historians could ever muster about The General was that 1) he was a bit of a social climber and 2) he strove to acquire land. If that's the worst that they could get on him...

Don't forget that he owned the largest distillery in America at one point.

The condition of the Steuben House has been an issue for many years. I remember when they were going to create the "New Bridge Historic Park" but nothing ever became of it.

Don't get me started on Lautenberg's lack of interest in making the Great Falls Industrial Park (founded by Alexander Hamilton) a National Park, considering the fact that it is his hometown. Tsongas was able to do so much for Lowell, MA.
