Yankee Magazine wrote an article on Israel years ago, and someone from
Connecticut had written a poem that begins: "Listen my children to this
epistle/ that tells of the ride of Israel Bissell."

I wish I knew where to get that poem. Any ideas? I see geneaology as a
kind of story, at least that's the way I am writing up mine. And with the
story of my ancesters, I like to give more history, like about Israel.
