i did enjoy this story very much. there are so many good people in history to learn about. but their stories are told as decorations to the time line facts and their lives loose the essence of their lives.
what we are today is much more about the lives of the real people who went before us than the dry facts of their exsistance.

Very interesting story, I'm a member of 2 IOOF lodges hear in St.Louis, and even if Hitchcock wasn't a member, the lodge did a good deed and buried him the the Cemetery.
