[Guest guest]

I do have a question, not specifically for you Peter, since I think you did a cut and paste, but for folks who write these things: "Smallpox was strongly suspected of being used against the Indians in the French and Indian War."Strongly suspected? Amhert's letters are still available. He WROTE that he did this. Why say "strongly suspected?" He did it and he said he did it.Lynda> - > peter hurd > > On the subject of epidemics.............> Mid 1300s > > Mongol tartars, sieging the port city of Feodosia (then Kaffa) onthe Black Sea, finally broke the three-year siege by catapultingplague-infested cadavers over the walls of the city. > > The city fell from plague in 1346 and it was suspected thatescaping residents of the city introduces plague into Italy,initiating the pandemic (the Black Death) that decimated the Europeanpopulace between 1348 and 1350. > > 1763 > > The next recorded instance of BW was in the new world.
