I just looked it up because I didn't know - the Spanish Wikipedia entry matching "American Revolution" is "Revolución de las Trece Colonias", that is, "Revolution of the 13 Colonies."
After I moved to Santa Fe, I took an adult ed course in NM history. The teacher pointed out that some of the money Spain contributed to the revolution came special taxes which were collected in then Nuevo Mexico. The NM historian who dug up these documents went to the archives in Spain to find them. He started with "What do you have about the American Revolution?" Their response was, "which one?"
The almost unbelievable “in today’s dollars” amounts made me do a dive into historical inflation rates for Great Britain. Wow! Their wild swings over the last century stunned me.
I don't want to get too political here, but when O'Bama was president, we got lunar eclipses. All we get under Trump is solar eclipses, which are immediately followed by hurricanes.
Related to the Dalhart distance, Key West is 432 miles away from Tallahassee, which means the capitals of Cuba (115 mi) and The Bahamas (272 mi) are closer than the state capital. Key West is also closer to British territory - the Cayman Islands are 363 miles away - and Mexico - Cancún is 406 miles away - than the state capital. Distances measured as great circle distances from airport to airport.
The famous book Texas History Movies goes into great detail about Sam Houston's personal life and is the source for what I posted earlier. No Texas historian should be without this book, which taught generations of Texas schoolchildren more than they should have known. The period encompassed is from circa 1500 to 1928, when the book was first published. This is the one I have; get yours today - you won't be sorry!
Sam Houston was rumored to have a never-healing oozing wound that resulted from his early military service (and he was also badly wounded at the battle of San Jacinto), one which allegedly caused at least one of his wives to leave him. One of them did so virtually overnight, and Houston whereupon ordered his bodyguards to shoot anyone he heard discussing the various rumors why.
Apparently I missed some of the details when I forwarded her response. "Essential" meant "essential for the precision with which Mary does magic." The HP wikia has an entry for wandless magic. "Only the most powerful and disciplined wizards and witches were able to perform advanced wandless magic reliably. Transfiguration and charms were particularly difficult to carry out without a wand." Entering a sidewalk chalk painting seems rather advanced, yes? Recall too that Jane Banks was able to snap her fingers to help clean up, following Poppins' lead. In the Potterverse, magical children "typically have no control over this magic", and "According to Albus Dumbledore, it is unusual and even somewhat worrisome for a child to be able to control their magic before the age of eleven." Karen Dotrice, who played Jane, was no older than 9. The house elves and other magical creatures have their own form of magic.
Not a fan of seagulls, very nasty birds.
