Nearly one hundred years after the Declaration of Independence the
tail of King George's horse was dug up on a farm in Wilton,
Connecticut, and a piece of his saddle was found there at about the
same time. The tradition in Wilton is that the ox-cart carrying the
broken statue passed through Wilton on its way to Litchfield, and
that the saddle and the tail were thrown away there. Just why, no
one knows; perhaps the load was too heavy; possibly--some people
think--because it was found that they were not of pure lead and
could not be used to make bullets. Most of the statue, however,
seems to have reached Litchfield safely.
