Tuesday, April 14, 1914. Opening Day and Threats in Mexico.

Imperial Russia annexed the Uryankhay Republic (Outer Mongolia) in a move that helps explain why Russia and China aren't really pals.

The region had been part of China until it broke away during the 1911 Revolution.

Saturday, July 10, 1909. An agreement on Chinese students.

Two years before the fateful revolution of 1911, the United States and Qing China entered into an agreement which allowed select Chinese students to enroll at American universities.

The Qing Dynasty had been in existence since 1644. That would come to an end in 1912. China has pretty much been in some sort of political mess since then, although it certainly had plenty of problems before that.

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!
