During last July 4th Independence day weekend came across this story about Nancy Hart, an American lady in my home state of Georgia who single handedly faced the British during the revolutionary war. Inspiring...
This war story was based in LAGRANGE, around 40 miles from my town where lived NANCY HART, the Revolutionary War heroine who single-handedly defended her home against a group of invading British soldiers.
According to the story, a group of British soldiers came upon the Hart farm in Georgia, and shot the family's best turkey. The soldiers barged into the house and ordered Nancy Hart to cook the turkey and serve it to them for dinner.
After she coolly prepared the meal, the soldiers stacked their rifles in the corner and sat down to eat. To their surprise, the next time they noticed her, she was pointing one of their rifles at them. When one foolhardy soldier made a move for his gun, she promptly shot him and held the others until help arrived. Later, the rest of the British soldiers were hanged from a nearby tree by the locals. No wonder the Americans drove the Brits away.
