OK, here’s the bottom line. The info about 100,000 square miles was taken from Price’s biography. I’m pretty sure I didn’t miscopy acres or square kilometers or anything like that. It’s possible that Price was simply exaggerating to make his point, it’s more likely that Price meant that he ranged over 100,000 square miles in his travels.
The Price biography is not in our library, I got it from inter-library loan. I confess openly that I’m too busy and it takes too long for me to get the book again and search through to see if I can figure out what Price meant. I’ll put it on my list of things to do, but I ain’t gonna get around to it for a long while.
In the meantime, in the next day or so, we’ll edit the Staff Report to read something innocuous.
My apologies.
