I had at least heard of Galvez thanks to 8th grade Louisiana History, but not the other characters in this romp and none of the fascinating details. Thanks for sharing!
As far as Coach Grunt goes, I was fortunate enough to have a few real history teachers in my grade and high school years. I owe them quite a bit. Luckily for me, they were able (to a certain extent) to teach me more than the "official" textbooks. One was in Puerto Rico, where I learned the real history of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Hence my unconventional views about US policy. It was hard then to teach the "rest" of history. It's essentially impossible now.
Chris, what would I do without my Nonnie Canadians? Thank you so much for your support, your advocacy, and for spelling favourite more properly than I do these days! 😍
LOL! 😂 Lynn, my American autocorrect sabotages my efforts! I suppose this means I do need help. I knew an Englishman over here who fought the good fight to use “Proper” English, but I think even he gave up in the end.

So glad you enjoyed, Don! Fun thing I learned: Modern Gálvez is not on the site of Gálveztown, much as we all want it to be. But same general area!

I'm always delighted to know about good teachers, and how terrific to have been partly educated in Puerto Rico. Thanks, Robot!
What great convoluted fun! Thanks!!
NBH is my favourite publication these days, and I’m busy pestering friends to take out paying subscriptions.
Your Canadian Fan,

You can at least make it so you can choose between the two, I've found, which helps. For some reason I have to keep writing neighbour!!!
