Another Squirrel - Major Nathaniel

I just posted the latest Squirrel Chronicle, one Major Nathaniel Squirrel who was the head of a band of scouts for George Washington. Nathaniel meets Washington in early 1777 and follows him on all his battles during the Revolution. Nathaniel befriends Billy Lee who was Washington's servant, slave, and when he attends Washington's inauguration tells Billy Lee that one of his descendants may some day become President as well....Billy Lee laughed at the time...it also tells of Jean Pierre, a red French squirrel, who works with Nathaniel, is a friend of Lafayette, and describes his Americanization.
