Yes, soft men of refined lawful behavior often make really good explorers where there is no expectation of the rule of law. /s
There’s a reason it was called the “fur wars”. The point is he redeemed himself by the standards of that time and place.

Unless she came from a particularly influential family, it likely means she was an exceptionally attractive woman. He was 10 years older than she was and means he and she were still going at it at ages 50 and 60 after being together more than 30 years and siring 5 children. She must have been an extraordinary woman.

How is she described as full Salish and then we’re told that her dad was French Canadian?

Yeah, he seems more appropriately called a "serial killer", than a "fur trader".

And where did that sympathy or affinity for helping England wage her wars come from? Seems like it was virtually nonexistent at the start of World War One.

Wouldn’t mind learning more about Julia. What made her such a hard catch? Giving birth at 51?? No thanks!

Hey there. I'm not too sure on the accurate size measures, but I would say that some of the largest walled cities today would definitely include Istanbul (historic Constantinople); Carcassonne, France; Jerusalem; and X'ian, China. Each had their own merits on defences, the most resolute (by historical record) seems to be Istanbul, due to the Theodosian Walls.

Hey there! It's indeed true. Newton was a bare-knuckle boxer, and was described by a student of his as being a fan of 'eye-gouging, choking, and headbutting.' I haven't seen a book dedicated to this topic, however, I came across it in several articles about the man.

I like how forgiving the article seems to be. If we were having this discussion closer to fresh wounds.. Sounds like a horrible human being
