Do You Know Who Daniel Goodhue Is?

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...

A Book About the Recent Close Call With an Asteroid

Did you hear about this in the news, that we came close to being walloped by an asteroid? That's crazy and reminds me of the movie Armageddon. Remember that one?

Poems by Edgar Allan Poe

I've never been a huge fan of poems and poetry but when someone quizzes me about a poet that I have heard of I immediately say Edgar Allan Poe. Did you know around the age of 27 Edgar married his 13 year old cousin, Virginia! That's down right creepy to me!

Books by Jorge Luis Borges

In fact, he is listed amongst the long list of Amazon books that you can purchase online. For some dumb reason I decided to check out the yearly banned books list
