Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Errors. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
A: Merewether is pronounced "Merri-whether", unlike my attempt!
B: Edward Drax AND The Duke of Northumberland undertook the dig in 1776. As suggested by directing miners to sink a shaft.
C: 2400 BC not 20400BC!
D. My biggest frustration was not discussing the likely totem down the middle. More on this another day soon.
Credit and Thanks
