![]() It really does help to be able to visualize things, too! I've looked at old maps I found online, and found several sound-alike place names (I don't have the maps with me I'll have to look them up again). I love reading history, but NL breathes life into it, and gives her readers an understanding of it from the inside out. Actually, my paternal family arrived in Lincolnshire as Danish Vikings and left as Puritans, pre-Civil War, so any connection is long ago and far away. My family hasn't lived there for a thousand years, as yours has. ![]() I grew up in Jack London's territory, and lived in John Steinbeck's home territory, so some of the places they wrote about I know well from experience I'm not able to do that with NL's work, as you are. ![]() Karen posts on 1:27:11 PM Tyger, thank you for sharing what you've looked into! It is always different when you've lived in a place and know its land and people it gives you images that we can create only from our reading or learning or whatever else our resources are. ![]()
