Title: Where Was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May?
First published: 1975
Description: May 29th, 1736, was a good day to be alive in Virginia. Where was Patrick on the 29th of May? Well, he was in bed. Crying, most likely. Drowning out the birdsong. And why not? He had just been born and didn't know about the creeks and woodlands. In a few years, of course, it would be different. It was a good thing for America that Patrick Henry became an orator at the same time that England was unfolding her new plan. Taxation was England's next step.
