If you want on or off the ping list for the daily newspaper from 120 years ago, drop me a line, either here or by FReep mail. The rate is 23 cents per week (3 cents for the dailies and a nickel for Sunday).

Just curious= why do you do 120 years ago, instead of 100?
120 seems like an odd number

Strange, I am reading "The River War" by Winston Churchill. It is a narrative of this expedition. Great history.
This was a popular war, driven partly by the popular desire to avenge the death of General Gordon at Khartoum. Popular with the people, the politicians wanted nothing to do with it. If you want to find out how the Brits did against the "Dervishes" (the ISIS of its time) you should look it up.
