The problem with history is that there is just too darn much of it! I never realized how much until the Internet came along. P.S. I'd prefer Shania Twain over Britney

It is probably also because George Washington was a British double agent. (He was after all a former English General) The game was to lose all the battles which Washington most dutifully did, except where it would be obvious. In the end despite winning them all in the field in sometimes Pyhrric victories, the Brits decided to end is out of sheer expense. All in all they felt that the colonies would be substantially more loyal as trading partners as opposed to slaves. Their romance with France was quickly ended as there ensued began the longest undeclared war in history as each side sank and raided the others boats in coastal waters for more than a century. Thomas Jefferson Beale of Beal treasure fame was with a dozen or so fellow conspirators an agent of Thomas Jefferson'sgovernment when he left from Virginia and reappeared with a mysterious treasure some 2 years later. His story was that he went gold mining in the Nevada area. In fact he raided French merchantmen for the US government carrying treasure in Lousiana waters. This would account for the horde of jewels and silver objets d'art he buried in Virginia. You don't find those items in a Nevada mine. The code he left behind as to the location of the treasure has never been decoded but the code for the contents has. I believe with computer, metal detection and other geophysical methods I can decode the location code, and find the burial site, but I fear the contents are long since gone. In the phone books of Virginia there are hordes of Beales. Thence wealth, hence fecundity. EC<:-}
