Fun history lessons...

We have recently been watching the Horatio Hornblower Complete Adventures series and the New Adventures.  We borrowed them from Blestwithsons.  As we have been watching we have learned a great deal about ships of the time of the French Revolution and shortly afterward.  We have learned about the British Navy and their heirarchy of leadership.  We have done some research on those topics as well.  We have also done a bit of reading on Napolean Bonaparte.  We have also been spurred on to find the books for our boys and JoNathan has begun reading them.  While watching the next to the last movie in the series we noted that the men were playing a game called Whist in one scene.  That made us curious, so we went online and found out how to play the game. 

Here are a few links on the game for any of you history and game buffs.

Hi, Laura here. I can't seem to see your menu postings on your food blog. I only see your sidebars. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for linking up at my site! Laura (org junkie)
