I really loved this, very in-depth and a ton of reading but worth working through. I have a friend from my University days that specialises in creating unique historical works - you have reminded me I need to drag him over to Steemit. Much as I have grown to love this platform it constantly niggles me that I find superb posts on a daily basis like this that get very little rewards or views - despite obviously having taking a considerable amount of time and effort to create.
