<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 8466441, member: 104064"]I'd never heard of it either, but wikipedia of course has a detailed entry. I'm a bit skeptical considering many of the phrases are similar or identical to phrases in the Declaration of Independence, and no one had heard of it prior to 1819, including Jefferson. I tend to think it was derived from the Mecklenburg Resolves, as many historians have theorized (in other words, folklore). But it's a cool medal![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
