M&D 105ff. -- St. Helena

[Paul Murphy]

For anyone interested in the history of St. Helena, the South Atlantic
island on which Mason & Dixon sojourn, I've found an interesting and
informative suite of web pages. For a brief history, point your browser to:

http://www.wndrland.demon.co.uk/st_helena/history.htm

There are links from here to a bibliography and to pages about Jamestown
(the capital) and flax. Yes, flax, apparently the island's major export
(cultivated for, you guessed it, rope).

Cheers,
Paul
