The small city in the eastern part of my New England state was almost uninvolved to the American Revolution. However, one evening during the war the Night Watch heard the sound of distant marching. Alarmed that the British were marching their way the Watch alerted the City Guard and the troops mustered to defend the city. To protect their families they decided to take the fight to the British and marched toward the distant sound.
A few miles outside of the city, as they approached a great swamp they bravely faced the enemy; a very noisy, very large mass mating of frogs.
The city today has a bridge with four sculpted frogs, one at each corner.
