With time and a patient loving family, this boy will warm up quickly and will provide endless years of love. He is looking for an indoor only furever home. He is good with other cat friendly cats and children. We do not know if he is good with dogs.

Commemorating Gen Burgoyne's defeat, the first major British defeat, in the American Revolutionary war in Oct 1777. Burgoyne launched his invasion of the Colonies from Quebec, planning to connect with Gen Howe who had masterfully routed Gen George Washington from Long Island, Staten Island and Manhattan a year earlier. Gen Howe, perhaps overconfident of victory, moved on to battle in Philadelphia leaving too few troops in Oswego NY. Burgoyne's supply to Canada began to get stretched too thin and casualties were mounting. Despite wins he was losing men at in unsustainable numbers, and Gen Howe's army was not to be found. Burgoyne pushed on along the Hudson and crossed north of Saratoga Springs, because the colonists, aided by a Polish military engineer, Koskiusko built formidable defenses that covered Hudson's River and the roads on either side. THe colonists were wilier than first thought. Burgoyne was forced to cross into unfavorable, woody, hilly, terrain (The great Redoubt). For a month starting in Sept 1777 the Yanks and British exchanged daily volleys of artillery and musketfire, and clashed in savage battles throughout the farms around Saratoga springs. It must have been miserable for all soldiers there. Hard labor digging and preparing for war, poor sanitation and medicine and daily fighting. The British were down to 7000 men (from 10,000) and supplies were stretched. Colonists were gaining their military footing were also recruiting in higher numbers and fresh men were arriving daily. It is estimated around 13,000 Yanks were at the battles. In October 1777, The British Generals, Burgoyne, Fraser and German Riedesel launched an attack. Gen Gates, Morgan Learned and Poor somewhat unwittingly went headlong into the British Attack. A frustrated Major Benedict Arnold (with permission or not...is not clear) took a contingent of Gen Poor's men and rode off and between the British lines circling in behind the British soldiers. In fierce fighting Gen Arnold attacked a redoubt from behind and cause the British to panic and retreat. Eventually the British were surrounded and Burgoyne surrendered all his troops and equipment to the colonists at this spot. The colonists were clearly far more clever and determined, and would fight more bravely than the British expected. This was the first major British defeat and considered the turning point of the revolutionary war. It's amazing to be part of such a experiment in nationbuilding...and I found this fascinating and moving. This is the grit that built America, and it always makes me feel that the deaths of these men....and so many people in so many causes, from wars to civil rights, to equal rights and justice, and all the messiness that is the great experiment "America" needs to be understood and felt more strongly by each person. Everyone should treat their country as the precious gift it is and work as hard for it as you do for yourself. Watching democracy work, and worse being an armchair quarterback to it, or.....THE Worst proclaiming your unalienable birthright to the lands and freedoms and bounty that the country can offer, while not participating except in feckless namecalling, self enriching greed.... Having the chutzpah (or lack of, since chutzpah is a another great addition to the American lexicon through our Yiddish speaking Americans) to claim who is American and who is not....sullies the name of the people who did make the ultimate sacrifice here and throughout American history.
These guys dashed into fire driven by real ideals of equality and freedom. Actually they were likely just hoping to survive the battle tot he next day and not die of infection. They knew they were fighting the right cause, but could not have ever expected the society they helped create. I imagine that after the pain of fighting, death, and time in the ground, these men, from their fish-eye position of the next life would certainly castigate the pettiness, xenophobia, racism, ignorance, etc...that permeates such a rich society. They would remind us that there is only one life, it's short, even more so if you are cut down by war, violence or illness. And regardless of whether there was a heaven or Hades, or who was the universal power...if there was one.... American life should be seized tot he fullest...get educated, learn and understand the world, understand it from other perspectives, don't mind what others have or don't have...mind your own knitting (as mom would say!). Meet others, work with others, care for others, even the ones we dislike or find most foreign. Do hard work, do good work, do it for good's sake and if profit follows be gracious, and generous and don't forget the country in which this was possible.
Traveller's remains were buried in a wooden box encased in concrete next to the Lee Chapel on the Washington & Lee campus, a few feet away from the Lee family crypt inside, where his master's body rests. The stable where he lived his last days, directly connected to the Lee House on campus, traditionally stands with its doors left open; this is said to allow his spirit to wander freely.
A covered breezeway connected Lee's house to a stable for Traveller, and Lee wrote to a friend that he liked living “under the same roof” as his beloved horse.
“Traveller is my only companion . . . He and I . . . wander out in the mountains and enjoy sweet confidence.”
—Robert E. Lee, writing to his daughter Mildred, October 1865
Ceccano is a town and comune in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, central Italy.The town had its origins as an ancient Volscian citadel that surrendered to the Romans in 424 BC.[1] Its name in ancient times was Fabrateria Vetus.According to tradition, the name was changed into the current one in the early Middle Ages, in honor of one Petronius Ceccanus, father of Pope Honorius I. Conquered by the Lombards at the time of King Aistulf (c. 750), later it became an important fortress of the Papal territories. From 900 to 1450 it was ruled by the local Counts of Ceccano, most likely of German origin; later their territories were assigned to Rodrigo Borgia by Pope Alexander VI and then to the Colonna family.
The history of the castle goes through three phases.
The first is the Medieval phase, when the rock was the centre of the Ceccano's counts dominion, which enclosed the two opposite Lepini's mountainsides. In this period the castle owned the keep, the Palatium and the Turris picta.
The second phase is linked to the the dominion of the Colonna family which started in 1523. In this period the rock was turned into a jail and it hosted a General Hearer who managed the dominion. In 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decided to trasfer the Law Court from Pofi to Ceccano and in this circumstance a structure of two floors was added to the castle.
In the third phase the architect Antonio Cipolla directed the works of reparation which conferred to the castle a neogothic façade and a crenellated bench. The last floor was converted to a place of residence and the buildings situated on the right of the courtyard come from this period.
In 1973 the jail was closed and the castle was abandoned for 30 years. In 1993 the Municipality of Ceccano bought it at an advertised bidding.
The Municipality, according to the the new reparation works, decided to break down all the buildings which had got no affinity with the primary structure. The primary façades were maintened to allow a good reconstruction of the three phases: Medieval castle, Colonna's castle and the 19th century dome. These works were the centre of a lot of controversies because the Municipality did not rebuild the 19th century crenellations.
Ceccano è un comune italiano di 23.083 abitanti della provincia di Frosinone nel Lazio. Per abitanti è la quinta città della provincia.Ceccano è l'antica Fabrateria Vetus, città volsca, già esistente nel 330 a.C., situata lungo le rive del fiume Sacco denominato dai Romani Trerus o Tolerus. Il collegamento Ceccano e l'antica Fabrateria si fonda su antiche iscrizioni rinvenute tra il Settecento e il'Ottocento nel territorio comunale. Nel Martirologio Romano del 2001, Fabrateria Vetus è citata in riferimento a San Magno, patrono di Anagni. Questo obbliga a riscrivere la storia del grande santo che, fino ad oggi, si credeva martirizzato a Fondi. Patria di San Silverio I Papa (come scritto da papa Gregorio XVI nella Bolla in cui elevava a Collegiata la Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista in Ceccano) che nacque nella contrada di Campo Troiano, odierna Cantinella', la città fu per ordine del Pontefice cinta di mura difensive, in minima parte ancora visibili .
La storia del castello dei conti de Ceccano passa attraverso tre fasi.
Nella prima fase, quella medievale, la rocca fu centro della grande Signoria dei conti de Ceccano che si estendeva a cavallo dei due opposti versanti dei monti Lepini. In questo periodo il castello comprendeva la torre mastio, il palatium e la turris picta.
La seconda fase è legata al dominio della famiglia Colonna, subentrata nel 1523 ai de Ceccano. In questo periodo la fortezza, che ospitava un Uditore Generale tramite il quale i Colonna amministravano la città, fu adibita a carcere. Nel 1734 Fabrizio Colonna decise di trasferire a Ceccano il Tribunale Generale dello Stato di Pofi, insieme all'archivio e alle carceri. Questa circostanza comportò un ampliamento della struttura che venne dotata di un edificio di due piani ospitante il tribunale e di altri corpi di fabbrica per le crescenti necessità.
La terza fase vide il marchese Filippo Berardi incamerare, alla fine del XIX secolo, tutti i beni del feudo Colonna. Il castello venne sottoposto a restauro per opera dell'architetto Antonio Cipolla, che conferì all'edificio forme neogotiche nelle facciate, merlature al terrazzo di copertura del corpo principale e delle torri e finestre a bifora nell'ultimo piano, trasformato da sottotetto a residenza. Appartengono a quest'ultimo periodo anche gli edifici situati alla destra del cortile residenziale.
Dopo la chiusura del carcere nel 1973, il castello rimase per circa trent'anni abbandonato fino a quando nel 1998 venne acquistato dall'Amministrazione Comunale tramite un'asta pubblica.I lavori del successivo restauro, eseguiti non senza polemiche riguardo alla mancata ricostruzione delle merlature ottocentesche, hanno previsto la demolizione di tutte le costruzioni recenti e incongrue all'impianto originario dell'edificio e ai suoi ampliamenti, con il fine di recuperare il più possibile le facciate originarie e consentire la lettura delle tre differenti fasi costruttive: castello medievale, castello dei Colonna e palazzo di fine '800.
