Molly Pitcher aids American Patriots!
Or was it Mary Ludwig Hayes on this day in 1776
took her husband's place on the battlefield
as he was either killed or wounded in the Battle of Momouth.
The other soldiers admired her courage.

Also on this day, Esther Forbes won the Pulitzer Prize
in 1943, for her book: "Paul Revere and the World He
Lived In." (Still in print)

"Truth is eternal. Knowledge is changeable. It is
disastous to confuse them."
~ Madeleine L'Engle
