    A noble effort, to be sure!  I wish you luck with it.  However, I should 
explain that, at least for *my* parts of TOT:77, I deliberately avoided 
putting in dates to keep from straitjacketing people. If I don't lock an 
event down with a date, or even a reference to other events if I can prevent 
it, you the DL gamers of the world can slot it into your campaign whenever 
you want during the 1877 period (perhaps even a little before, or a little 
after). Since I don't believe many gamers -- perhaps *any* gamers -- try to 
follow PEG's (or any other game company's) story/setting 100% exactly, I 
figured this was the best way to approach the situation.
