At Yorktown
British troops surrendered to the American troops at
Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19,1781, effectively end
ing the American Revolution. Because many paintings
show Lord Cornwallis offering his sword to General
Washington, most Americans believe that’s what actually
happened. In fact, Washington was a spectator, and
Cornwallis wasn’t even there! Cornwallis was in his tent, too
sick, or sick at heart, to attend the formalities So he sent his
second-in-command, General O’Hara. Although O’Hara was
directed to Washington, military protocol dictated that a
jL deputy surrender to a deputy, so Washington sent
O’Hara to General Benjamin Lincoln, who
accepted O'Hara’s sword.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing
\ so rare as to he always valuable.

Although many toxic chemi
cals used to treat fruits

sorbed into them, we can
reduce our chemical intake
by washing off the residue
that remains on the surface
Use a teaspoon or two of
vegetable-oil-based liquid
soap in a large pan of cool
water (Water alone won’t do
the trick ) Soak food for 10
