Stumbling around online(too old to surf), I started searching history of the Boer war, after watching a cool documentary on it this morning that chronicled W.Churchill as a very young man.
I found a really interesting 'HISTORY OF' site that includes literally a history of everything.
I don't know if this is common knowledge and I am just slow or if this is of interest to you, because we discuss so much history here. Incedentally I find our historical discussions quite fascinating most of the time.
The site appears to include a history of medicine, and war every conflict throughout Europe's history from the middle ages onward and much more, including some Canadian and US history about the New American West.
Just thought I'd pass it on.

I tend to get lost going through those archives. It would take me weeks to get through all those entries, provided I didn't become sidetracked with 'something' else just thought of...
Excellent site. Hope to put it to good use when I am hanging around waiting for a server to rebuild.
it was also used to reffer to someone that tanned easily, rather than the typical burn from sun exposure. or barely get colour.
a few friends with celtic ancestry, very few, tan easily to very dark. most will tann, but to a much lesser degree, some just burn. ( keep me away from a beach, noticable tan in one hour. in 8 hours, the deep dark redish brown of teak. my family ( sisters, brothertan, but not as dark. parents burn only. )
Not a blonde in the family, all nearly olive skinned, can sit in the sun for a fortnight and not burn, just get darker and darker. Come to think of it, so are all aunts uncles and cousins, except for two blonde cousins.
Nice of you to stop in, I suppose you haven't had time lately. Drop me an email and let me know how work is working for you.
I can't answer that with the answer that comes to mind, simply because I don't want to offend your lady-like sensibilities...
Did I mention I'm part black Irish?
Oh yeah...btw...did I tell you I ordered the "History of Britain" DVD set narrated by Simon Schiama from History International channel? all 15 DVDs or episodes or something...$99. I gotta order "In Search of Ancient Ireland" from PBS next. :)
