"Intemperia"?--perhaps malaria.

My best,

Pam
PL OK.

Indeed, your infectious diseases antennae were set quivering:

'Malaria is believed to have been introduced to Sardinia by infected workers imported from North Africa after the Carthaginian conquest of Sardinia in 502 bc. The disease became endemic to this region during the medieval period , but since the classical ages, Sardinia had been tarred with the reputation as an “unhealthy island”.' Pretty much mosquito free now I think.

Best,

Pam,
I copied the description/summary from the top of the first post to the Project Screen page used in cataloging. I assume it is final.

I have edited it several times since I first posted a summary.

But what is now written there is final.

Thanks, DaveC,

Thanks Pam. Such an interesting array of great names and, at a tangent, I was thrilled to encounter that of the famous circumnavigator towards the end (he was an old man by then and lived to be much older still!)

'Choose, Bougainville!'
The wind cried once, and Bougainville had heard
The voice of God, calling him prudently
Out of a dead lee shore, and chose the north.
The wind's way.

Best,

Barbara

PL OK! Congratulations.

What a satisfying end to this fascinating account. Did you, like me, read up on this Duc de Liancourt? That he fled to England after the storming of the Tuileries, where he was the guest of Arthur Young? And that Fanny Burney gives a long description of him in her journal. The Duc's subsequent travels, including those in North America, are among other impressive details.

Best,

Barbara
