According to that article, the earliest recording they have is from around 1860, and the accent had already been lost by then.
I didn't know that, either, so it's kind of interesting to read about. Makes me wonder how many visible signs of Spanish exploration are still extant in the East north of Florida (town names, rivers, etc.).
I have found Cruise to be unwatchable. Will he ever learn to breathe through his nose? ;D
Did you ever see him in "Taps"?
Well that has to rank among the sorriest reasons ever for famous artwork to have been destroyed. One would think that at the very least, they could have been used by the suspects as leverage to have a reduced sentence.
That's kind of interesting to know. I'm curious as to how they directed the V1 and V2 exactly to their targets.
I know that there is much sculpture on some Gothic cathedrals which depicts really crude figures, which seems to be strange considering the buildings are places of worship. I'm still not entirely clear on the reason for these, but I'm sure someone, somewhere has looked into the matter.The relief you show looks like a guy/creature with a pot/oil can for a head.
The ideal would be for Virginia to try and purchase it at some agreed upon value or agree to share it.
Do you think that spoils of war are so easily purchased back by the conquered?Â
I am thinking that states have enough resources that they could write the terms of the agreement in an enforceable contract. That makes it much harder to get around. As for your grandfather, I am guessing he didn't have the resources to protect his land, which is unfortunate. I hope that at the least the government compensated him for his loss. Does he still own the adjoining land (or is it still in your family)? When the government puts a road through land, that land obviously becomes more attractive to developers, hence raising the value.
