"Amazing. Adams too impatient to wait for a ship from Spain to France gets on mules with his sons and travels 1,000 mi across Pyrennes to France. Adams petitioned the Dutch for funds and nearly died of fever while there. Then sent his 14yo son John Quincy to Russia on another 1000mi trip w/a colleague, and sent his 11yo son back home on a five month sea journey. He’d likely be arrested today for child abandonment." — Aug 17, 2025 05:57PM
