AMERICAN AFRICAN WAS A FOUNDING FATHER

Do you or your college student know that an American African was a Founding Father?

Bet Not.  In two of President Washington's most famous portrait paintings, there is
a man in the background and here he is, Mr. Billy Lee.  After the Revolution, people
came to Mount Vernon not only to see Washington, but to see Mr. Lee.

At war he always was with  Washington because he was the best horseman in the Colonies
and he took care of the finances, as well as the horses and Washington's dalmation,
Madame Moose, whose job was to guard the horses from wolves.

This man was forgotten by historians and can you imagine what Washington said
to the painter--Mr. Lee has to be in this portrait.  He is important to me in the War.

Mr. Joseph H. Ellis won the Pullzer Prize for The Ballad of Bill Lee.  He was  not
a slave.  He was a Founding Father.

Shame on people who have hidden this from the public.  Not Lorraine Strieby.  Read
her book, Why is a Spy Called a Mole, sold on Amazon, soft cover or eBook.

"fun, fun, fun, Under the Sun," to quote Beach Boys, WannaBtruckers Board Game, Lorraine Strieby

Lorraine Strieby also developed a travel game that is sold on Amazon.
Are you making plans to travel on the interstates  and your kids
keep asking:  "When are we getting there?"

She has almost 4000 fans out there.  Well, to quote the Beach Boys, "if you
want to have fun, fun, fun under the sun"  you need this game for you and
your young ones.

It will teach geography, famous icons, counting, and depends on the trucks
(18 wheelers).  MADE IN THE USA IN BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN.

All the Interstates are on there.  Possibly, a game board for each child
would be a better learning experience for them.

Here she comes again.  She sure is busy, MMM Mayor Molly Mcole

Founding Fathers, Does Your Child Learn About Them?, Introduction of Christopher McMole and Mr. Billy Lee by Lorraine Strieby

Here is Christopher McMole who helped Commander-in-Chief George Washington win
the Revolutionary war.   My name is Mayor Molly McMole and I am so proud of this
Master Spy.  He helped train wolf dogs to howl signals for British ships sailing north,
south or coming into the harbors in Manhattan and Long Island.  He is my ancestor.

He made a perfect spy!  Have you seen one except now.  People think that moles are
nocturnal.  Well, they are up and about all times of the day. They just notice new mole
holes during the light of day--not the mole.  Moles dig tunnels and tunnels under tunnels.

You will find this out when you buy the book from Amazon, Why Is a Spy Called a
Mole.

Not only that, but you will find out about Mr. Billy Lee who really is one of the founding
fathers.  He was the son of Colonel John Lee and a black woman and they had two sons
Mr Billy Lee and Mr. Frank Lee.  Mr. Billy Lee was the best horseman in the colonies
and was the man who Washington depended on the most--for the whole Revolutionary
War.  You will learn why with this book.  Oooooops, Lorraine Strieby is coming into
her studio.  Have to go,    Mayor Molly McMole, MMM

George Washington--Do You Really Know Why He Became the First President of the USA?


Here is author Lorraine Strieby reading one of her Adventures of Mayor Molly McMole
books in Long Beach, California.  She had me in a hat box, since I was the main
character.  The students loved seeing me at the end of the reading.

She now published her fifth book about my  great ancestor, Spy Master Christopher
McMole, who worked for Commander George Washington, later Commander-in-Chief.
This book is about the American Revolution and starts on the Monongahela River
in Morgan Town, Va. now Morgantown, West Virginia.

The first step was the French-Indian War and was fought on and near the Monongahela
River.  Zaquill Morgan fought under Washington in the French-Indian War and
then as a Colonel in the American Revolution.  I am so proud of Christopher, but
now I have to leave because I hear Strieby's car and she still doesn't know that
I blog about this series.  You will learn more and have fun doing it- reading this book,
Why Is a Spy Called a Mole?

Why Does West Virginia Keep Its Fame in Its Vest Pocket

 Mayor Molly McMole Has Been at it again!!! She wonders why West Virginians
keeps their fame in its vest pocket.  The Mountaineers  don't shout out about their part
in the Revolutionary War, the important river, the Monongahela, and how
important it was to Commander George Washington.  Who was Washington's friend
and colonel Zackwill Morgan...  Have you heard of Morgantown and why
it is famous?   mmm (Lorraine Strieby)

Why Do History Books Have to Be So Boring?

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
