Morgan the Rifleman and a Saratoga turn of fate
Daniel Morgan led riflemen in the French and Indian War and in the Revolution he trained marksmen for Bay Battle of Saratoga where Murphy felled General Frazer on the iron horse. The tale contrasts Morgan’s fierce duty with his tender remorse for the killing. Then Seward on a mail coach shares a NY governor joke with a driver and a bluff waiter.

Celebration of Waldorf Hero and a French Officer’s Mercy
In 1806 a village near Jena faced ten French soldiers to be shot for alleged offenses. A pastor’s son and nine villagers volunteered, sacrificing themselves to save others. The young man later became a reformer in Germany, while the officer’s humane ruse saved the village and left a lasting memory among survivors and a later generation.

New Unfermented Bread Affects Digestion And Economy
A London report describes a newly discovered grated bread produced without fermentation. Ready carbonic acid is used to raise the dough, which is mixed in a compressed atmosphere then baked without hand contact.
