I always loved that statue. This history about it makes it even more amazing.

Samantha at the Fair is great. The character and the author are from Jefferson County, New York. I like to think my great-grandmother, a farmer's wife from upstate New York, had some of the same reactions, though I suspect she could spell "women."
