Dusty Devil Dale Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 After many years, I just enjoyed re-reading this famous poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. At one time I had it memorized, but time has now stolen most of it. It's a good, sobering short read. It still roots out the patriot in me, especially in these upside-down seeming times.

Seamus McGillicuddy Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 It’s kinda like .45 LC. Not really period correct but it let’s folks know what you’re talking about. Seamus
watab kid Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 thinking a bit on what that ride really meant , the risk of doing it and such , it is a bit sobering to contemplate , a lot of respect needs to be given to a guy that risked his life to warn of impending danger at a time when your neighbors might have taken serious offense
