Hood County

Famous quotes containing the words hood and/or county:

    And then having ended this merry wedding,
    The bride looked as fresh as a queen;
    And so they returned to the merry greenwood,
    Amongst the leaves so green.
    —Unknown. Robin Hood and Allen-a-Dale (l. 105–108)

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
