I must mention that Dana's book clearly has merit if you're interesting in (1) the history of coastal California, circa the 1840s, as well as (2) the legal history of captain/sailor relations (Dana's last chapter).<BR/><BR/>Still, in the end you're right: It may take longer to get through, but the Aubrey/Maturin series is more fun for learning about 19th-century sailing on the whole.<BR/><BR/>- TLTim Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896230254720822005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250013.post-375619832925918852008-03-02T18:52:00.000-05:002008-03-02T18:52:00.000-05:00Hey, many thanks for this.

I scanned through the submissions and can't wait to get busy connecting with them. <BR/><BR/>The end of the month always creeps up on me and I forget to submit. :(<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that the History Carnival has also fell victim to spam/off topic submissions. I have noticed quite an increase with the Education Carnival and the Georgia Carnival. What's the deal? It's not as if there aren't several other carnivals roving the countryside that would be more appropriate for them. <BR/><BR/>Spam/off topic submissions slow the host down in their attempt to get the carnival together, and it frustrates the reader who visits a carnival specifically for the given topic. <BR/><BR/>Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. :)EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250013.post-50713469514471176952008-03-01T17:14:00.000-05:002008-03-01T17:14:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link, though my meager scribblings ...Thanks for the link, though my meager scribblings hardly do the subject justice.Greg Afinogenovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529073439919307693noreply@blogger.com
