.... didn’t think them of as a threat. Louisbourg thought that the New Englanders would not be able to launch a serious attack with any kind of heavy artillery, since they attacked the weak rear side, travelling over marshy, wooded areas to reach the fort. The people of Louisbourg were wrong, however, as the New Englanders did indeed manage to bring in artillery over the marshy terrain.

.... shot came from the front. Oswald was behind the president and could not have inflicted that wound. Moments prior to the shooting Oswald was on the second floor of the building drinking a Coke. When he was confronted in the building after the shooting he was said to have been calm and collective. You would think after someone had committed the murder of the century they would be a little more tense. Oswald did not appear to be tense at all. He exited the building from the front door of the building. If he had committed the murder he would probably have escaped from the building through a different door. Oswald was a mere pawn in .....

He fixed the problem of water and air coming out of the exhausted vessel by adding a pump to extract both air and water. This is Watt’s great contribution to the Newcome steam en .....
