George Washington, Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale, and so on. Along the
journey you will discover the answers to this question. This website,
as well as the Ancient Paths e-newsletter are dedicated to answering this
question fully.

made most of them very wealthy? They've told us -- read the Declaration to
