![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
