Do you ever look at those long, handwritten documents and think, "That must have been a lot of pressure not to make a typo on Article VIII"?

I was watching Sons of Liberty last night (a must watch if you can find a way to watch it without paying Amazon).

As John Hancock was signing the Declaration, I was thinking what amazing skill that was to manipulate a quill so artfully.

I can barely sign a birthday card legibly because I get so little practice.
