Thanks, M ELEY.It caused me to do a little research on the item and I was fascinated by the surrounding background story. I then realized how little I knew about our fight for Independence and the incredible personal sacrifices our Founding Fathers made for us.

Rabble in Arms is a great novel of those times; Kenneth Roberts is the author.
Another one of his novels is titled Arundel, about Arnold's march on Quebec. They take a bit of the dryness out of history. Here's another souvenir of that period; the cathead cut from the HMS Somerset 74 that was wrecked in what is now Truro Ma. |
