re: #83 CuriousLurker
Thanks for the recommendation. I have the unabridged, annotated Kindle version, so maybe Iāll revisit it again soon.
Either one works for me. My dad was form Connecticut and he did the same thing.
;-) Have you seen Bob Rafelsonās 1990 movie Mountains of the Moon, about Burton and John Hanning Speke? One of my favorite costume dramas.
Bit oā trivia: Rafelson was the co-creator of The Monkees and directed Five Easy Pieces (and the Monkeeās Head, which was written by Jack Nicholson).
