Title: "a trade to be larn't"
Post by: olefido on October 18, 2012, 11:59:24 PM
Can someone who is more familiar with "Paul Revere's Ride" tell me in what chapter this phrase is used. I am thinking it is sometime during the action at Menotomy. What I remember from reading is that a young man is extremely nervous during the fight and turns to his older, much calmer buddy who tells him that combat is "a trade to be larn't" in his Scottish brogue.

The young Patriot later wrote by the end of that very campaign, I knew exactly what he had meant.
