Trevor,
My memory of such maters may be shot, but I recall it was employed in making
candles centuries ago in pre USA days and later. Perhaps a local candle
shop or historic tourist attraction in your neck of the woods may be a
source for a small supply. Just a thought.
As to your neck of the woods, I owe you an apology. In our last exchange I
made the faulty assumption based on English spellings of certain words that
you were located across the pond. In looking at your e-mail address later I
see I was in error. I'm sorry.
I do maintain that bushwhacking 2000-or-so years ago in the "old world" is
on-topic. What trade/military routes were established and why? What
methods did the Roman Empire et al use to establish the routes? How many
are major roads these days? Curious.
Sincerely,
Bill
