Stantdm,

That is extremely interesting history. To have those details recorded is rare as are the events... Captured by the red coats and rescued on top of that.
After surviving the conflict that exceeded anything today mortality wise, he was ironically taken by lightning.
That reminds me of my buddy I just talked to who asked one day for a lightning bolt experience (not literal) in regards to the Lord speaking to him about something. The next day, he had a bolt hit a street width across from him.
The same thing happened to me the year before last. A superbolt wider than the tree trunk in my yard struck.
Close call. If it had electricuted me, I doubt if a historian would take note though. Lol.

PS:. I always enjoyed American history, but at a time in life when college was a big goal, It would have been nice to have a teacher who had some a personal interest and ability to communicate those golden events.
