Notes
Note
Wrestling was a favorite amusement with our Puritan forefathers. Many came at different times from the neighboring towns, and assembled in the ample courtyard of his house to witness wrestling matches appointed with him, in which he always came off victor. He would jump over a string as high as his head. Once during the Revolutionary war, he was chased by some British cavalry soldiers and stopped to put up some bars that were down in order to hinder them and heard one of them say - he was so near - "he might have killed that cuss as well as not, but he hated to see the great long fellow die." Schools were poor and books few in his early years, but in his after life he was very fond of reading.
