GUEST Tune Req: Burning of the Henry Clay (15) RE: Tune Req: Burning of the Henry Clay 04 Mar 24


FROM WIKIPEDIA VISCKSBUG CAMPAIGN

The fleet survived with little damage; thirteen men were wounded and none killed. The Henry Clay was disabled and burned at the water's edge. On April 22, six more boats loaded with supplies made the run; one boat did not make it, though no one was killed. The crew floated downstream on the boat's remnants.

I was hoping you were right and that this was The Burning of the Henry Clay written by the Saugerties Bard. I've been trying to find the actual words and haven't. The Flowery Shannon Side was published by the same publisher that published many of the Saugerties Bards' works. Interesting but haven't been able to make the connection.
