BRIEF
- *New: LIVE CHAT 24/7 https://vivabarneslaw.locals.com/post/7964996/24-7-live-chat
I. THE INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
- The Battle of Bunker Hill, by early American artist John Trumbull, a battle the British managed to lose while winning. By holding off the British as long as they did, the Americans seized the narrative and strategic victory. Legend grew of a young farmer turned Colonel of the Minute Men, promising to hold the Hill or periosh trying for at least one more night, with the famous phrase echoed: “Don’t Fire Boys Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes”, or at least legend would have it. I admit my fondness for the legend with its Sun Tsu style proverbial wisdom, but also for a more direct reason: Colonel Prescott was a great, great granddaddy of mine.
B. Wisdom of the Day
- “Don’t Fire Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes.” Colonel Prescott, according to legend.
