历史音频 第十八篇 人物(women)
listen to part of history lecture
7 p* r8 U R( Dlast week we talked about Anne Bradstreet and the role of women in the puritan colonies. Today i want to talk about some other women who contributed to American history some famous and some not so famous. The first woman I’d like to talk about is MP. Those of you who are familiar with the name may know her as a hero of American’s Revolution. But, in fact there never was a woman named MP(molly pitchers). Her real name was actually M.L.H. she got the nickname MP for her acts of bravery during the Revolutionary War. As the story goes, when Mary’s or Molly’s husband JH, enlisted in the artillery, Mary followed, like many other wives did. She helped out doing washing and cooking for the soldiers. She was known to be a pretty and unusual woman, she smoked a pipe and chewed tobacco. Anyway ,in the summer of 1778, at the battle of MM, it was a blistering hot day ,maybe over a hundred degrees and fifty soldiers died of thirst during the battle. Molly wasn’t content to stay back at camp. Instead ,she ran through gunshots and cannon fire carrying water in pitchers from a small stream out to the thirsty American soldiers. The relief that she brought with her pitchers of water gave her the legendary nickname Molly Picher. The story also says that she continued to load and fire her husband’s cannon after he was wounded. They say she was so well liked by the other soldiers that they called her Sergeant Molly. In fact, legend has it that George Washington himself gave her the special military title.
