Now I’m getting down to work on coding the links that Edje and especially Researcher have provided, and then moving all parts of the catalog together to a place which will be perpetually accessible from Keepa’s front page.

I had noticed the number of ocean-related books and maps in several parts of the catalog and went ahead and made the jokes. I never even considered that there could be a potential practical value. While I don’t think Bernhisel thought we might be driven from the Great Basin — in 1851 when he worked on this collection, before the end-of-year return of the runaway judges, relations between the Mormons and the federal government were looking pretty bright — still, he was a forward looking man who very well might have considered a Mormon presence on the west coast as well as in the mountains.

Like I said, you’re wiser than I am. But even I am wise enough not to try the glass-blowing thing from a book! “What?!! Why didn’t they say DON’T INHALE at the top of the page?!”

My favorite is Book of the Feet: A History of Boots and Shoes. Not that I would want to read it; it’s just comforting to know that there are such books out there.

(Berzelius. Use of the Blow Pipe) I wonder if you can really learn a craft like glass-making from a book?

(Vicat, J.L. Mortars and Cements) Do you think he has any references to Meso-American building practices? (Vicat was the inventor of the type of cement used before Portland cement.)

(Conversation about Whale Fishery.) I was going to make a joke about this book, but then I started wondering if Bernhisel thought the Saints would end up in California [or on a Pacific Island as discussed previously], and then realized that at the time, a large number of Saints were in California, and would be there another five years.
