Happy Birthday...

... Horatio Hornblower! Why Mr. Forester chose to make the quintessential Englishman's birthday the same as that of the USA, I'm not sure, but he was born July 4th, 1776. Happy Birthday to Hornblower and to our country!

So it plainly wasn't his fault?

Maybe because then Forester wouldn't have trouble remembering when Horatio was born?
