Be sure to check out Wm Dawes. He didn't fare much better but was still a player...

Well, the last time we fought a "Civil War" (it was a War of Secession) against the Demons of DC we got our butts kicked and 10% of the young men died. The women were raped. The houses and farms were burned and looted. While the Yankees (Honest Abe) laughed about it when Gen. Sherman described the slaughter to him in the White House.

It's an information war now. Who wins over the opinion of John Q Stupid?

Who wins is up to us. Be your own Paul Revere. Better yet, Dr. Samuel Prescott!

Brian: I didn't know about Dr. Prescott. I looked him up. Amazing man! Jumped a stone fence at night on horseback and then into the forest and swamp to escape a British patrol. Sad that he died in prison in Halifax, Nova Scotia 1777.

I lived on Prescott Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. Don't know who the street was named after.
