Here is the inscription from the side of The Hung Drawn and Quartered.

“I went to see General Harrison Hung Drawn and Quartered. He was looking as cheerful as any man could in that condition.”

Samuel Pepys
The date was October 13 sixteen-hundred and something.

Incidentally, you can purchase t-shirts inside. Both kids got one! LOL

Hey, thanks for the great memory!

October 13 has been an infamous date, going back to Friday, October 13, 1307.

We sometimes forget how brutal the world can be.
