The Jailer’s Daughter Mysteries Ebooks #99cents each. These mysteries are set in the rural south in the late 1960s and early 1970’s when something justice needed a little help. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Review: “Not since reading Nancy Drew Mysteries have I experienced such fun following two teenage sleuths on an escapade.” #YA #southern #mystery #comingofage amazon.com/Bloody-Shoe-Affai… amazon.com/Moonshine-Murders…

On 18 October 1840 the French frigate La Belle Poule left St Helena with Napoleon’s body onboard. On 30 November the ship reached France. Jean-Baptiste-Henri Durand painted the departure from St Helena. The magnificent painting can be seen today in the Musée de l'Armée in Paris

210 years ago, on 20 October 1816, General Bertrand and family moved into a cottage on St Helena that had been built especially for them so they could be next to Napoleon in Longwood House. The cottage was fully restored 10 years ago by the St Helena Government.
