Historians love to put the past in order. They trace the trends and movements in politics, economics, and society that shape events over time. That’s their job. But I’ve always been struck by the disorder of history, the role that happenstance plays in steering events. We might, for example, follow the meandering path of one young couple through the early 1800s.
Hi Jack, I just read your story for the second time about the early times and troubles of Joseph Smith's family. What survivors and how they started over when reduced to nothing. I wonder if we could pull it off if our lives took a turn like theirs. Seems like we have become pretty soft.

Wow, Jack another interesting history story of chain events. I loved it and one I'd never heard of. Thank you
Hmm! maybe instead of ginseng, they should have gone with poppies. Would have beat the Brits to a rather lucrative market.
Marvelous
Great story told only the way JK does, with knowledge, compassion and marvel.
Thank you
