Radix Fidem

Found this link on Lew Rockwell's site. It tells of two boys growing up a century ago here in Oklahoma, and their many adventures that many adults today could not handle. Before they were even teenagers, they rode horses to New York City a couple of times, drove a car back on one trip, made the same trip on a motorcycle, rode across the US in 62 days without sleeping under a roof, and so forth. The two boys lived long enough to die after I reached adulthood.

My, how times have changed.

I truly enjoyed that bit of history.

Interesting. Though they were an anomaly for the time, there are probably more stories like that but on a lesser scale.
