I guess I'm just all-around intrigued by the idea, and in discovering the sort of artistic decisions writers using the privateer angle make. If it isn't burdensome to you, I'd love to hear back about any books that may be out there.Sarah O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01336602241504980801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-72936066505277243502009-07-23T09:19:27.609-04:002009-07-23T09:19:27.609-04:00It was great to meet you, Marissa, however briefly...It was great to meet you, Marissa, however briefly!Victoria Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259793807283856761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-15141615217397585592009-07-22T21:11:38.211-04:002009-07-22T21:11:38.211-04:00Dara, that's why it was such fun--four histori...Dara, that's why it was such fun--four historical fiction writers all going into overdrive over crazy things like a combination saber and very, very tiny bore pistol, or scrimshaw corset busks, and so on.

I haven't been there since they remodeled but if all of you cross fingers, toes, etc. I'll get a new internship in the archives soon. I will have to see that American maritime exhibit.

I am quite the history geek too and unfortunately not many members of my family share that same passion (my dad does, but he's more interested in military history).Darahttp://inthewritemind.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-20829927153037159872009-07-22T13:35:18.251-04:002009-07-22T13:35:18.251-04:00LOL!

It looks so fascinating! I recently did some research on The Spirit of St. Louis for school, so I'd love to see the plane in real life.

I get especially mad when local tourist industries confuse or equate the two! Of course, the privateers I like are Nova Scotian or British. Sorry, Americans!<br /><br />Are there any historical romances where the hero is a privateer? I'd be interested in that.Sarah O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01336602241504980801noreply@blogger.com
