February 11, 1941. Remounts and Resistance.

Arrival of new horse, Front Royal Remount Station. February 11, 1941. Remounts still figured into the Army's plans at the time.

On this day fighting broke out between Dutch Jews and Germans and Dutch fascists in Amsterdam. Such instances of Jewish open resistance, prior to the insurrection in the Warsaw Ghetto, were rare.

Other events of this day:

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!
