Well Agnes, some of what we call history is mythology. Sometimes reality just seems so….dull. But it doesn’t hurt to spew some mythology so you can get along with your teacher.

I agree. A good example are the bible stories. There is no reason to believe any of that stuff. It was a long time ago and most likely the whole thing is fiction.

Well, here I always thought it was Charles Dawes.
Listen, my children and shut your jaws
And I will tell you about Charles Dawes.
And Clement Moore did NOT write A Visit From St. Nicholas. It was written by a man named Henry Anderson. Moore was a dour old man who looked – and acted – as if he was waiting for an opening in the Trinity, preferably the top spot. The poem was credited to him as a joke, because it was so unlike him.

Um….
Thanks, X…..
Now my reply is before your post!
Hope that doesn’t make everybody dizzy.
:)
Dani…..
I think you might mean Henry Livingston.
But many still believe more evidence points to Moore.

Interesting. In what ways are Agnes’s people different from the teacher’s people?
