Devon,
Your talk on the Robber Barons sounds very interesting? How about planning a
holiday to Australia and while your hear give us this talk (LOL)? In the
book, Chats on old lace there are some great references on this topic. Are
you familiar with them?
Is your talk published anywhere? If not can I encourage you to publish it so
that a larger audience of lacemakers can have access?

weather.

The term "Robber Barons" I have found to be the name given to the
American(USA) industrialists of the middle to late C19th. Their
takeovers, by fair means and foul lead to the companies we now know as
Shell, Esso, du Pont etc.; the large banks, now themselves taken over
and the railways which are mainly gone. There was an excellent book
written about them which came out in the late '50's. It made
fascinating reading to anyone interested in history.
