The old 'history written by the victors' problem. I think humanity so often owes a debt of gratitude to librarians, archivists and curators who quietly go about preserving source documents---because at some point they make it possible for the truth to be told, or at least considered. <br />Thank you, Jams, for sharing this (and other) historical treasures.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103888963337307977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-8403058300056327432010-08-17T18:59:03.461+01:002010-08-17T18:59:03.461+01:00Glad you found it interesting Susan.
