I will have two items for the raffle:

The John Stark Package: Winni.com is very educational. I often saw references to "Live Free or Die" used by folks, sometimes to back each side of a single "debate". I decided to research our hero of the American Revolution. He was an amazing man. These two items are donated to the raffle as a single prize.

This is a genuine Wedgwood Plate. It was issued at the dedication of the Bennington Battle Monument in 1891. John Stark and his men from NH were the heroes of that great victory. I love the quote from General Stark, you can read it on the back of the plate. "There are the redcoats, and they are ours, or Molly Stark sleeps a widow tonight" ( I quess that one wouldn't have fit on the NH license plates)

The 2nd part of this prize is this book:
