Cool bit of history, Waterman!
I never heard that rhyme before. Your old veteran neighbor must have been in the Field Artillery. You've preserved his memory here! "Where a goat can go ... a man can go ... where a man can go ... he can drag a gunne" (with a Scottish brogue, please). Supposedly said, by British General Phillips, when ordering artillery pieces placed on top of Mt. Defiance, to successfully maneuver Americans out of Fort Ticonderoga, during 1777, Burgoyne Campaign. |
