I've been having many dreams of him as I have been having about my father. As I see him and get to know him more he reminds me of my father. My father was an orphan as well, and he also loved to cut down trees. I got ready for bed. The next morning, I woke up by a resounding noise of an axe being used.

    Only stories of very important women such as Abagail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, and Martha Washington was slightly mentioned in Visions of America while Revolutionary Mothers tells of many personal stories of women who were not considered very important to the outcome of the American Revolution.
