"I Pledge Allegiance . . . "
The Pledge, a new book about the origin and history of the Pledge of Allegiance, written by Hudson resident Peter Meyer, is reviewed today in the Wall Street Journal.
This blog takes its name from the 1850 novel by Hudson author Alice B. Neal. The original Gossips of Rivertown cast a gimlet eye on Hudson society in the mid-19th century. More than a century and a half later, the new Gossips carries on the spirit of the original, but in a different genre and with a different focus.
Over the decade I've become increasingly uncomfortable doing the pledge performance.
