-”Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens’ firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that’s good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour.” - George Washington

Yet another quote from a founder that was never said.

Think about this a little bit and do some research. Do you think George Washington would talk about Prairie Wagons? They weren't used until the mid 1800s after the Louisiana Purchase. George died in 1799. The French still owned all that land at the time of his death.

Glad you picked up on that, too.

The anachronisms in that quote ought to LEAP out at everyone.

Your right. Using “prarie wagon” is not a good idea as it may confuse learned folks, but most people don’t know what a Conestoga wagon is. Probably best to use just “wagon”.
