Thanks! smiley - ok and smiley - hug

It was fun - and I felt I had to write it, because as far as I can tell, one of the fighters was a very distant relative.

I was poking around in the genealogy stuff and ran across Eltonhead, whose daughter married the guy I was researching. The name alone was worth a look... Under 'Death', it said, 'Hanged by the Puritans.' I yelped, 'What? What? What?'

And if it amused as well as filled in part of the Civil War story, so much the better. smiley - winkeye

Oh it definitely amusedsmiley - laugh
Returned to Eds for final polishsmiley - disco

smiley - bluelightI love the Twilight Zone connections. They make you wonder if life isn't just some cosmic joke, and the prize at the end of it all is for those who have laughed the most at the absurdity of it all.
smiley - jester
As for Eltonhead, well, I'd have had the same urge I reckon, and it would have been added to my list. It's as long as my arm, but still, I do intend getting back to writing as soon as we can smiley - drumroll some more sub-editorssmiley - whistle

I wish you smiley - goodluck - we need more subeditors. smiley - ok

And I agree, you have to laugh. Last night, we watched the second part of the BBC series, 'Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot'. It wasn't History as we know it, but it was really funny watching Robert Carlyle play James VI and I. smiley - rofl

smiley - ok It's a hoot. Part I is sort of 'Game of Thrones' with Mary Queen of Scots, then Jamie and the kids get involved, and all those barrels of gunpowder...

I stumbled across it on Netflix. The Guardian's minireview was priceless:
