Via Flutterby
is this wonderful
site of historical maps. I was checking out A
Map of the British Empire in America with the French and Spanish Settlements
adjacent thereto (1746) when I came across a Ft. Barnwell in North
Carolina, built in 1712.
Ft. Barnwell was named for one John
“Tuscarora Jack” Barnwell who fought the Tuscarora in that
area in 1711-12. And John “Tuscarora
Jack” Barnwell is an ancestor of mine (on my mom's side of the
family—she was a Barnwell). How cool is that?
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
