Had This Been Invented Yet?

One difficulty about writing a historical is accuracy.  I have to do quite a bit of research.  I have to look up when an item was invented if I'm not certain.  I remember I had to look up shotgun, because I didn't know if it had been invented by 1820.  If memory serves me right, it had.  I also discovered that Scotland Yard was formed in 1829, so I couldn't refer to them.  Even though the airplane hadn't been invented, the concept of the "air carriage" had been created by then.  It's quite a history lesson, I tell you.

I'll discuss fashion in my next post.  I love historical costume!
