A History Lesson From Mr. Snell

Erulehto81: "Shift that fat ass, Harry. But slowly, or you'll swamp the boat."
Erulehto81: When Washington was getting on the boat to cross the Delaware he said that to Henry Knox.
deviledHam79: LOL
Erulehto81: They should teach this stuff in history because it's far more entertaining.
Erulehto81: I had to put that quote on facebook.
deviledHam79: where did it come from?
Erulehto81: It was reported by Knox. Doesn't say where. Probably a letter or diary entry.
deviledHam79: he REALLY said that??
Erulehto81: Yes.
deviledHam79: LOL
deviledHam79: well George Washington is my new personal hero.
