Merry Christmas has not al
ways been merry in American
history. Unmerry times started
very early. The Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth four days before
Christmas 1920. Christmas day
found them between the May
flower and the cold, hostile
shore. Most of them were still
living on the ship. And they
didn't belieS in celebrating
Christmas anyway.
Washington's ragged troops
were crossing the icy Delaware
in the dark early morning hours
of Christmas l776. They defeated
the Hessians at Trenton the next
day.
Christmas 1856 found unrest in
New England, Shay's rebellion
flared that day. The rebels had
a rough time.
In 1887. Col. Zachary Taylor
and his troops were down in
Florida fighting the Seminole
War. Christmas day found them
fighting and defeating the In
dians at Lake Okechobee.
The Mexican War also saw
Christmas day action when Col.
Doniphan and $50 volunteers de-
fested LOO Mexieans at Brazito
