The Land of the Gazelle People

Far away, in a land so remote and forgotten that it has only been visited by intrepid explorers and Lovecraftian dreamers, lives an ancient and largely unheard-of people. Early European visitors once believed the strange land to be an ancient remnant of mythical Lemuria, such that later cartographers left the land off maps, dismissing it as pure fantasy. To this day, whether by convention or conspiracy I don't know, this most exotic of lands remains missing from all maps.


The Daily Colonist, November 1–11, 1915

#dailycolonist1915 #WWI - The news out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago.

I am, at last, caught up to exactly 100 years ago. The beginning of November 1915 has the British using gas for the first time, fighting in Bulgaria, King George V recovering from an accident at the front, the defeat of women's suffrage in the United States, new innovations in aerial warfare, and a new Japanese emperor, among other news.
