На мемориальной доске указано что Jingle Bells написал не John Pierpont, а его сын James L. Pierpont. Я кстати ее помню, хотя был в Саванне лет 10 назад. Очень милый город, много памятных мест и музеев.
John Pierpont did not write the song "Jingle Bells" as erroneously claimed by Robert Fulghum in his collection of essays It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It (1989). "Jingle Bells" was composed by his son James Lord Pierpont, who lived in Savannah, Georgia, and who was a Confederate soldier during the Civil War, composing songs for the Confederate States of America, including "Our Battle Flag", "Strike for the South", and "We Conquer or Die".
