Fascinating. I only knew a little of Charles Carroll, so this was most pleasing. Him and John Adams are my favorite founding fathers and Jefferson gets an honorary mention. Happy Independence Day!

Great essay. A Founder I was not familiar with. Along with a captivating history how one of our great railroads got started. Thank you Frederick and Happy Independence Day.

Well done... it's fascinating to learn about the people who helped build our country, its government and infrastructure... as opposed to those present day democrats who spend their time trying to tear it down.
