The Immortal Daniel Webster

Legend says if you go to his grave and call his name, you’ll hear his voice boom, “Neighbor, how stands the Union?” and you must answer, “The Union stands as she stood, rock-bottomed and copper-sheathed, one and indivisible,” or he’s likely to rear right out of the ground.*

The great orator, statesman and diplomat Daniel Webster was “God-like” in his day, and, indeed, his presence lives on in New Hampshire.

My Daniel Webster(s)

Shakespeare wrote, “What’s past is prologue.” The past is also what we take for granted. Maybe that’s why history is often so unexplored and overlooked, even when it’s your own family history.
