I am sitting up late baking cookies for tomorrow's youth group hike, and have taken the opportunity to do a bit more posting than I would otherwise. I have been doing some research for the next Notes (which I will try to write in the next 3 days or so), and came upon this bit of knowledge which I, a fan of U.S. history, have never heard. Here's the question; watch for the answer in the next Notes:
