Oh wow, this is cool, I would totally read these!!
Wynne's journeys aboard her husband's warship as a young and, for some time, pregnant wife may sound odd today. But many British navy ships carried the wives or mistresses of tradesmen, and even the captains' wives.
Yes, actually, if you read Jane Austen's Persuasion there's quite about about this.

very interesting.
It reminds me of the Battle of Bull Run where locals sat out on hillsides having picnics to watch the battle.

JUST PUBLISH THE DIARIES!
Too many times they are SELECTIVE on what they publish and put their spin on it.

I don’t do as well with Emma or Northanger Abbey, but I love the other four.

Yes!! The best, I was just watching this a couple weeks ago. I love the music when they go to Lyme and look out over the water... I think it’s Chopin... and Sophie Thompson is so funny as Mary... I didn’t know till recently that she’s Emma Thompson’s sister. She’s every bit as good an actor. This is one of my all-time favorites.

Fiction, but so historically detailed you need reference books to fully understand:

It sure didn’t... :) All those DC picnic folks must have been amazed when the rebs didn’t just fall down dead at the sight of the yanks parading around in their bright blue uniforms. :) I’m sure it came as quite a shock to those who thought the war would be over in one battle.
