Most people are not familiar with the Dan Goodhue that I am referring to. He was a sailor in the Revolutionary War and was captured and sent to prison in England. As he stayed there as a young man he ended up writing a short 7 verse poem about himself and the war. He later was released and went home and married, fathered children and became a captain of his own boat. It wasn't until hundreds of years later that his poem was accidentally found. I have wrote a hub about it if you would like to...
you go over to my hubpage and read all about it. It is quite an interesting story and poem and one that should be mentioned and remembered: Check it out here: http://cdm2009.hubpages.com/hub/poemamericanrevolution
