American Heros

FAMOUS AMERICAN HEROS AND LEGENDS

GEORGE WASHINGTON

I was Commander of the Continental Army during the American
Revolution, and the first President of the United States. I have been
called the Father of our Country.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

I was a printer by trade, but I was also a statesman and inventor.
I was one of those who signed the Declaration of Independence. I
invented the Franklin Stove and Bi-Focal Glasses. I also served as the
first Postmaster General.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

I believed that the world was round, but everyone called me a
square. Only Queen Isabella of Spain believed in my idea of sailing
west to reach the east. On my first voyage I accidentally discovered
America while trying to sail to India.

DAVY CROCKETT

I was a frontiersman, a congressman, and a patriot of Texas. I
fought in the Indian Wars, but was a champion of Indians' rights. I
died in the Battle of the Alamo.

PECOS BILL

I can outride, outrope, outrun, and outshoot any other varmint from
Maine to Californy. One day I was very thirsty, so I dug the Rio Grande
river with a stick to get water.

JOHN PAUL JONES

I was a Commodore in the American Navy. I captured the British ship
H.M.S. Seriphis in a sea battle where I did NOT say "I have not yet
begun to fight!".

PAUL BUNYAN

I was the biggest "lumberjack" ever to live, and I created many
different landmarks across this country. One day I dragged my axe when
I was tired, and that became the Grand Canyon.

JOHNNY APPLESEED

My real name was John Chapman. I was an itinerant preacher who
planted apple trees all over the country.

YiS,

Chuck Bramlet, ASM Troop 323
Thunderbird District, Grand Canyon Council, Phoenix, Az.

I "used to be" an Antelope! (and a good ol' Antelope, too...) WEM-10-95
