I've traveled in at least 2/3 of our 50 states. While I don't pretend to be an expert in fountains, I can say that I have seen relatively few fountains in my journeys. I may be wrong, I just don't think they ever became as ubiquitous as the author hoped. Or, over time, they have been torn down and replaced with other more "modern" structures.They are beautiful, however, so I have nothing against them.Kitty wrote: ↑June 25th, 2021, 4:31 amnot many fountains in the US ?

well this article only deals with the "worthies" not the "unworthies" I guess Even though, each of them probably also had their skeletons in their closetsneecheelok70 wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2021, 12:24 pmHere is Section 8. As a resident of Virginia, it was my duty to do this one. But she didn't say anything about their mistreatment of the slaves and the Indians.
