The story of Elizabeth Zane is a popular one to tell here in Michigan.  JAR just published a new article with lots of interesting details I wasn't previously familiar with:

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leaders, and concerting measures in opposition to each other." ~John Adams 1780
