Longfellow



Happy Birthday to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow! He was born today in 1807. Three facts I didn't previously know about Longfellow:

1. He once lived in a house that was occupied for a time by George Washington.

2. He was good friends with Nathaniel Hawthorne.

3. His wife had the first OB anesthetic administered in the United States.
