Rhine province wars and a maple memory from home
A historical note ties France and Germany in a thousand year saga over the Rhine and Alsace Lorraine, while a reflective essay recalls a family scene under a maple tree with vivid portraits of Jack, Jimmy, and a drowned twin, ending in a ghostly question about the old man’s last look. The rest shifts through brief curiosities, notices, and excerpts from local life and science.
