Why do history books have to be so boring?
If you think so, you need to order "Why is a Spy called a Mole?" on Amazon.
Lorraine Strieby stayed up nights to wade through history books so you could
learn the true story of the Revolutionary War and his sidekick and possible
relative Mr. Billy Lee and really enjoy learning about the War without
boring (ho hum) history books.
For starters, do you like horses and dogs? Guess what, Washington's horse,
Nelson, was possibly the most famous horse ever--even more famous
than Secretariat. Why did a dog named Madame Moose go with Commander
Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Mr. Lee throughout the War? You have
seen Washington on a white horse, Blue. This horse was not the famous horse.
Who was the best horsemen in the Colonies? It wasn't Alexander Hamilton?
Have you ever heard of the Monongahela River in Morgan Town--now Morgantown?
I bet you haven't, even if it should be up there with the Ohio and Colorado Rivers.
For some reason, West Virginia keeps their fame in its vest pocket.
Have you ever heard of Colonel Zackquill Morgan who served under
Commander General Washington? Probably not.
Who always was there to protect Washington? Who did his finances and
knew more about horses and dogs than anyone in the colonies?
I hear Lorraine coming. Got to go mmm Mayor Molly McMole
