Not sure how accurate these things are that the fabricators made, but I like them! I said that people just put up the broad side made by the Sam Adams but they wanted something stronger. Almost finished with "The Speckled Monster" which is a most illuminating book on the 1720 epidemic. My favorite part is where Cotton Matther's slave answers the question, "did you ever have small-pox?" with "Yes and never." It is such a great way to talk about the idea of treatments that use the disease to build antibodies.
