Dishwasher and microwave safe, so it goes into daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winter of 1778 to 1779 Israel Putnam commanded from Redding: three camps, the Danbury stores behind him, the Sound below, and a division unpaid and close to walking home. On the morning of December 30 he talked the Connecticut brigades back to their huts with a speech and one confined ringleader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom these camps he pushed patrols down to the coast, and in late February 1779 a British column caught him at Greenwich with a handful of men. The ride that followed is the one everyone tells; what people forget is that he rode home to Redding. The park at his winter camp keeps a bronze of that moment by Anna Hyatt Huntington. This figure is not that one. It is an original drawn for Merlin Classics, sword up and hat on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic ceramic mug in a bright white glaze, at 11 or 15 ounces, with a generous C-handle.
