United Kingdom	923
Turkey	762

More people from the Ukraine have stopped in here than from Canada? That's odd.

And Russia is a (distant) number two?

Hmm. . . sort of deflating statistics in some ways.

My percentage of views from Canada compared to total views is almost exactly the same as your Canada to total views (100 US views per 1 Canada view).

I'm just wondering why someone from Russia, Ukraine, China, or Turkey is interested in my blog and how they are finding it.; Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 10:20:00 AM MDT

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
