Hi Willard,

I'm not entirely sure how my note from last year (18.756) ended up
here again as a new note (19.753), but let me give the link to the jpeg:
http://www.ualberta.ca/~sruecker/Minard-Napolean-3-ways.jpg.

There was some subsequent discussion under the subject line "Digital
Microhistory." Perhaps it got revisited because the month was the same?

yrs,
Stan
