Re: Eye-catchers from an 1871 Publication, Batch 1 (49 names)
Another poster suggested that Dorus might have come from Theodorus. I believe his bio said he was a military man.I'm no anthropologist...were any folks vegetarian in the late 17th - 19th centuries? I tend to think of vegetarianism and, more particularly, veganism (are those words?) as being luxury lifestyle choices enabled by modern technology and transport/storage systems, simply because those diets require a very broad variety of grown/gathered foods available year 'round for proper nutrition.Funny, I related Amarilla to Amaryllis..."sparkling Jane". :)
