erastesIt's moving along, but gah! the mistakes one finds !!
I'm describing the Battle of Edgehill and I go and say that the right flank of the King'S cavalry attacked the right flank of the Parliament's. Idiot!
Only if
1. they galloped diagonally across the flood plain OR
2. They were both facing in the same direction.
*kicks self*
I also mention SHRAPNEL. Yeah. In 1642. Riiiiight...... That would have been hard to live down as my fellow historical novelists laughed in my face.
It's a worry!

Date: 2008-10-09 10:50 am (UTC)I know in the late Victorian era they used to have little pre-moistened squares, in packages - almost like the handy wipes you can buy nowadays. :) And later there was paper on a roll, not unlike what we have, except the sheets weren't perforated...
