Subject: RE: Folklore: American Indian 'green powder'?
Further to Paul Burke's link to the very interesting, historical East Anglia papers, I was puzzled to read information about Culloden/Drumossie Moor dating from March 3rd, 1746; the battle took place in April of that year. Since there's more than eleven days between April 16th and March 3rd (i.e. the change in the calendar can't be the explanation), and I'm pretty sure that the names of the months would have been written in full in any case, I'm at a complete loss here. Any suggestions?
