This young lady, though dyslexic by her own publication, is "tearin' 'em up" on the FRENCH-INDIAN-L. Some of you may subscribe to that list, some not. But, she's uncovered some pretty interesting items, and I thought I'd just send one here. Don't know about you, but I'm checking out the FR and IN as well as the War of 1812 for my "brick wall". Warmest greetings to everyone! Carleen Frazier-Adlam Fay Young wrote: > Hello Carleen Adlam and other Frazer resurchers .I found my book !
