Little did several of them know then that their names would live on as place names....Hyde, Carteret, Colleton (Collington?)...and the Berkeley Manor. Interesting stuff!

Which rather begs the question, Philip, did you ever have occasion to savor such delicacies back in your earliest days on the island?
ReplyDeleteSeems strange to consider a meal of blue heron these days, but back in an era when subsistence was an overarching concern I suppose it was downright sensible.
Yet another interesting post, as always. Thanks.
I have never eaten song birds or shore birds, but my father often told me how delicious they were.
