It is hard to even begin to imagine what kind of formative experiences gave such indomitability, toughness, and perseverity to our forebears. Today, whiners abound who would not have lived to maturity then.
Thanks so much for this reminder of American grit.

Welcome to the Canteen, imardmd1. Glad you enjoyed Star's report on this hero...John Darling Terry.
He was, for sure, persistent in his pursuit of his goal.
