Historical note:

Edward Ezra Tate, a Union captain during the recent unpleasantness, realised late in 1864 that the war was nearing its end. 
Captain Tate was also astute enough to forsee the great westward expansion that was certain to come. 

The southerners would go west seeking new freedoms rather than return to a shattered and desolate south and harrsh Yankee reconstruction.

Yankees would go west looking for work and opportunity rather than return to closed factories and mills and a broken economy in the north.

Captain Tate realised one day thay all of the maps he had ever seen had north at the top.  Likewise all compasses pointed north.  What foolishness, thought he.  If everyone were to go west wouldn't it make more sense if west were at the top of the maps and compasses pointed west?

He contacted some appropriate people and by war's end had procured several thousand Tate's Improved Compasses and corresponding Tate's New Horizon Maps.

It was here that the Law Of Unintended Consequences kicked in.  It seems that the compasses and maps inevitably got seperated one from the other. Nneither was particularly well marked, and instructions were rudimentary at best.  Many who had Tate's wonderful compass and a conventional map, found them selves inexplicably in Mexico, while those with a standard compass and a Tate map were bound for Canada.

Confusion grew and multiplied until the Army Corps of Engineers came to the rescue with both maps and compasses in the old "north at the top" fromat.

This brief fiasco is what has led us to the well know phrase "He who has a Tate's is lost."

Have a good weekend and read Chapter eleven for Monday.
