An interesting piece of local history. Well written, ev

accidentally rated but


(4 stars)

but sure, will save for "research" purposes heh(hahahaha), literally though! Definitely seems it has some fundamentally useful knowledge to be learned. When I do I'll be sure to leave an added review below this and if I happen to find it especially enjoyed I'll leave the 5th star.
