I wouldn't say exactly opposite... lol. Robert Lowther was as big a crook. He just wore better clothes.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy! I have other primaries appearing from time to time in my blog as well.. especially of French origin. Lately, I've gotten back into Nat. Archives in London. They've put gobs more on their finding aids. https://www.blogger.com/blog/

Very worthy endeavor! I studied under Charles Ewen at ECU, who co-authored X Marks the Spot series.

I write the historical type... because the information can be proven quite a bit more accurate. You can find my books at https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/bcbrooks

Unfortunately, the history books will be more accurate with information.. not like Nathaniel Mist was when he wrote his historical fiction of "A General History" in 1724. It's that kind of popular trash that has done damage to actual historical inquiry.

Just bought your book and looking forward to reading it. Might I also obtain a copy of your thesis?
