The Old State House in Philadelphia |
July 8, 1776-- The Liberty Bell rings from the tower calling Philadelphians to hear Col. John Nixon read the Declaration of Independence (Bennett and Crib, The American Patriot's Almanac, Thomas Nelson, Nashville, 2008). There's even a sad little poem:
The old bell now is silent,
And hushed its iron tongue,
But the spirit it awakened
Still lives-- forever young.
