“…geography without history seems a carcass…”
time and place, you got it…
“As geography without history
seems a carcass without motion,
so history without geography
wandereth as a vagrant without a certain habitation.”
Captain John Smith (b1579-1580, d1631) He explored the Chesapeake Bay in 1607 I expect that my good friend Dr. Don will take a moment to reflect on Capt. Smith’s observation. Maybe it’s not as exciting as a football game, but it’s a meaty precept for historians and wannabe historians, like me.
