	Check out the St. Albans Raid on pg. 24, and details of the worsening
US-Canadian relationship on pg. 30. (Was McGlothlin trying *even then* to
weasel his way into writing the Canada sourcebook? You bet your @ss he
was....;-) )

	The idea for the seizure of Detroit was Matt Forbeck's, and I kinda
thought it provided a neat "Whoa!" moment in the book. (Of course, I had no

Hopefully, I'll get better at this someday.:-)
