I remember a discussion with Doug on the board a good while back, which is why I recall Westport as the Gettysburg of the West. Lo, I happened to come up with a link on a search-

Although we talked mostly about pirates, but I think that's just the first page. Amazing what's out in cyberspace- a good reminder to be careful of what you say- it may last forever.

Take care, love the trivia game. ed
