The Fighting Moose

As we draw near to Independence Day here in the United States, I figured I would sprinkle some patriotic cheer with some poems from the book “Poems of American Patriotism.” Today will actually be a double feature with the poem “The Unknown Soldier” written by Angela Morgan and the second being the poem “O Captain! My Captain!” written by Walt Whitman.

June 14th is Flag Day. On this day in 1777 the congress of the United States passed a resolution of how the Flag should look. Flag Day was instituted in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. Isn't history great? Today, in honor of Flag Day, we read the story “The Rescue of Old Glory” from the book “Tell Me Another Story” written by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

I get asked a lot by John about back stories of characters or people. So today, as requested by John, we read the story “An Introduction to that Spanish Gentleman” retold by Judge Parry from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume 4, Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry.” This fulfills a couple things. The first being a request from John for another Don Quixote story. Also, it gives him the back story of Don Quixote.

When I think of Boston, I think history. After all, the east coast is where all of the first original colonies of the United States were located. We may be heading there soon and if we do, I'm going to be checking out as much history as I can. So today, we read the poem titled “Boston” written by Ralph Waldo Emerson and it comes to us from the book “Poems of American Patriotism.”

Science fiction is probably one of, if not the best, genre of literature. I love to read it and just picture in my minds eye these wild and exotic places. Also, you can learn things too. For instance, today I learned that Uranus has a moon called Titania which is where our story takes place. So today, we read the story “Flight of the Centaurus” from the book “Teen-Age Super Science Stories” written by Richard Elam.

I really don't know how prevalent coal is in everyday life. What I do know, is that there are a few power plants around my house that still burn coal to produce our electricity. I also did see that there is a ferry boat that runs across Lake Michigan that is still burning coal. So today, I figured why not learn about coal with the story “The Origin of Coal” from the book “Field, Forest and Farm” written by Jean Henri Fabre.

Doing some quick review of the past episodes of The Fighting Moose Podcast, I didn't see any episodes with readings about Don Quixote. So today, we will read the story “Don Quixote Wages a Battle Against a Giant” retold by Judge Parry and comes to us from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume Four, Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry.”

I recall reading somewhere that when the British were fighting the Americans, in the late 1700's, they had to keep a close eye on the French because the French wanted to fight the British as well. Well, in today's story, we read about how the British and the French got into a small naval skirmish with the story “A Famous Fight Between an English and a French Frigate” written by Reverend W.H. Fritchett from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume Seven, Stories of Courage and Heroism.”

The biggest fan of the podcast asked for a story about a dragon so today, he get's a story about a dragon. We read the story titled “Orestes and the Dragon” from the book “The Blue Rose Fairy Book” written by Maurice Baring.
