General+Hooker



Here's a Massachusetts connection for you.

Do you know where is this statue of General Hooker located? You may have seen it for yourself! Miss Cotter mentioned it in class, but only in passing, before we started this chapter. If you are a member of the SBS Class of 2009 and think you know where this is, email Miss Cotter. (You know the email address!) First correct email sent gets a homework pass for history class.

We have a winner --- in an email with a time-stamp of 7:33 A.M. on 1/14/09, TJ said: ... and he would be correct! Congratulations, TJ!
 * I am pretty sure the general Hooker Statue is outside the state house. I remember passing it a few times in Boston. ||
