featuring voice artist Fred
Bugg
as "Ronald Reagan"
G aily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
B ut he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
A nd, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"
" O ver
the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

Tuberculosis
was a dreaded disease in the 19th century, one to which not only
Poe's wife succumbed, but also his mother. When Virginia Poe
came down with this disease, there were no sanitariums or
antibiotics with which to cure her. It was not even known at
this time that tuberculosis was highly contagious.
