Road Trip Information     There were women in the Continental Army, even a few who saw combat! Probably the best known is Mary Ludwig Hays, nicknamed 'Molly Pitcher.' She replaced her wounded husband at his cannon during the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. Another wife of an artilleryman, Margaret Corbin, was badly wounded serving in her husband's gun crew at the Battle of Harlem Heights in 1776. Thousands of other women served in Washington's army as cooks and nurses.

Road Trip Information     I been on this road for a long time now. At times it seems like the road is never gonna end.

Road Trip Information     Animation artists love inside jokes. In the Disney film Beauty and the Beast (1991), the road signs that Belle?s father encounters in the forest show the names of two California cities: one points to Anaheim, while the other points down a dark, sinister-looking path to Valencia. In truth, Anaheim is the site of Disneyland, while the rival Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement theme park is in the city of Valencia.
