“Did you give him a link to the Auntie thread? That is one of the best.”
Thanks much for the links/recommendations, everyone. I guess I know now what I’ll be doing this coming weekend! ;)
“Auntie” thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2702976/posts?page=1
And another of my favorites, Fred Nerks’ brilliant “African Colonial” thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2278969/posts?page=1
(Fred didn’t start the thread (neverdem did), but she has packed it with excellent research and history. Kudos to both of you.)
