C. started in England before 1865, the ones I've seen have the Boston address on them, no address on this cap, If you know the emblem on the New Orleans saints football helmet is the exact emblem on the naval cap, at has a rim stiffener made od reed around the inside of the hat keeping it round in shape if anyone can help me date this naval cap I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you, SemperFi, SgtMajR.A.SF-5,MacSog.USMC,Ret,Disabled thank you, Rob email ozzieh58@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332335051560713217.post-75882293182683454562012-12-02T00:49:28.977-05:002012-12-02T00:49:28.977-05:00You are welcome and encouraged to contact me direc...You are welcome and encouraged to contact me directly at my email address of: jackie@thesocialpet.com.

This is the second book in a trilogy. The main character's family has a family general store from at least 1850 to at least 1886. The main character is born in Boston in 1849 and leaves there as a young man in his early twenties to work in another state. In 1886 he returns. The family store is still in existence, but some family members have passed away. <br /><br />I was recommended that the North End of Boston would be an appropriate place for this family store to be, and then the family members could live in the area and walk around. They would also like a Catholic church to be nearby. <br /><br />If this is a good neighborhood, what streets might the store be located on, and could the store have resident living above it?<br /><br />Where might I find an accurate downloadable map of that area at that time? <br /><br />Any assistance is greatly appreciated!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Jackie PhillipsRenting With Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071118983927530284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332335051560713217.post-89383115028014081742012-06-16T05:58:58.254-04:002012-06-16T05:58:58.254-04:00Great work, Mark!!!!!!
