I know why I picked the first two, the last one I can't remember why, but it was interesting. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-65262423010429090312019-12-04T17:11:28.336-06:002019-12-04T17:11:28.336-06:00This does sound an interesting chapter of American...This does sound an interesting chapter of American history. A good author makes all the difference. Thanks for the suggestion! No worries about your wayward comment last month and thanks for today's update. I one upped you: I actually forgot about book group and had to scramble to post a review of Stacey Lee's historical novel, which is now up.

Hope you're well.<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-36926779870274431432019-11-30T18:10:58.219-06:002019-11-30T18:10:58.219-06:00I must read this.

Another brilliant piece of the Northwest Territory, in my opinion, was the building blocks of government, the smallest unit of which was townships.
