Hanks life in Hell on Earth, a love story often
seemed to be going off in all directions with seemingly little hope for better
direction other then the misguided efforts of his caseworker on Erebus. This is
pretty much the way research on the Internet works.
You go looking for one thing and you may or may not find it
but you will find something and that will lead you to something else and
something else and something else. Before you realize it, you’ve got a dozen
pages open and you don’t even remember what you were originally searching for.
Recently, while bouncing around the Internet —and I do mean
bouncing, I came across a war that to the best of my knowledge never made it
into the history books. At least none of the ones I had read.
This war preceded the French and Indian War (1754-63) that
was fought between the very organized and disciplined English and French forces
and their respective allies, the unorganized, undisciplined, sneak up behind
you and shoot you in the back Americans and Indians. It was called the “War of Jenkins’s Ear” (1739-1748) and fought between Spain and England, two naval
powers of the day, both with heavy investments in the New World.
You might be asking yourself, “How did I miss that
war?” You aren't alone.<
