DARIEN/PREBBLE


Hello Jane, Jud et all, The expedition arrived in January 2003, they found the remains of the first town that was built, NEW EDINBURGH and the fort, FORT ST ANDREW, also a moat that had been dug, heaps of artefacts, the wreck of the first re-supply ship, failed to find graveyard containing 2000 of the settlers, local native People great help, Rab.PS A strange thing that I watched the DVD on the very day that the Treaty Of Union took effect all that time ago.John Prebble wrote an excellent book on this subject called "Darien:the Scottish Dream of Empire". It's available both through Amazon andAmazon.UK. This is an excellent work - up to Prebble's usual highstandards. If you have not read it, and are interested in Darien, youreally should track it down.Jud--- In nigel-tranter-books@yahoogroups.com <mailto:nigel-tranter-books%40yahoogroups.com> , "Jane Nauta" <nautajane@...> wrote:>> No! no need to keep it to yourself, just don't endanger copyright. Just tell us in your own words what you find out, with a few quotes. That's allowable and is called "fair dealing". We are waiting to herea lot about it. Some of the story is in Nigel's "The Patriot", butour tongues are hanging out for more Jane
