I'm always asking her about medicine in the 1800's. My last question was about infections and when people began realizing that getting a cut could lead to an infection if not properly cared for, because of the germs. Linking those things together, medically, didn't come about in the year my story takes place, but she gave me a great term to fit my time period--festering.Juliehttp://www.julielence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762497227505790066.post-78552030174252100452012-02-02T13:15:53.109-08:002012-02-02T13:15:53.109-08:00Hi Patricia: Glad you liked the blog.

I love researching for Bridged By Love, which is set in the mid 1880 is the 4-state area of AR, TX, OK, and LA.... I with you also on the old John Wayne cowboy movies. Love them.

When I researched prisons for Zanna's Outlaw, I came across Huntsville in Texas, which was perfect for the story's setting. But I wanted to know what it looked like back then, and there was nothing except mention of the bell tower. So, I had to take liberty. It all worked out in the end.Juliehttp://www.julielence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762497227505790066.post-2335712151130632682012-02-02T08:01:17.283-08:002012-02-02T08:01:17.283-08:00Me either, Michele.
