I came across this story many years ago, and only recently did I recall the story because of what I was reading, preparing for Christmas this year. I don’t know the author; in fact, there may have been many hands that helped shape this story:
History tells us that early in the 19th century the whole world was watching with bated breath the campaigns of Napoleon. There was talk everywhere of marches, invasions, battles, and bloodshed as the French dictator pushed his way through Europe. Babies were born during that time. But who had time to think about babies or to care about cradles and nurseries when the international scene was as tumultuous as it was? Nevertheless, between Trafalgar and Waterloo, there stole into this world a bona fide list of heroes whose lives were destined to shape the history of humanity. But again I ask, who had time to think about babies while Napoleon was on the move? Well, someone should have.
