Dusty Devil Dale Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) 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.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just remember “the British are coming” was a Longfellow fabrication. It made no sense because they were all British. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted December 15, 2022 Share 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 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
