Starting article edit

This colorful character sheds light on the early history of Seattle. From an economic standpoint, her enterprises helped accumulate money from sailors and lumbermen in Seattle, instead of other towns, which may be part of why Seattle's the major city on the sound instead of Everett or Olympia. (Of course, it's hard to say that for sure ...). And, beyond that, she's just plain colorful! -rewinn 19:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Other Mother Damnables edit

There seems to be some earlier characters in England called "Mother Damnable" cf. Charles Lamb here http://books.google.com/books?id=j7kdAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA585&lpg=PA585&dq=mother+damnable&source=web&ots=yBU--fMKFX&sig=EjFypiQMG9C__uWr3n_r-V-oEDA&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result . May be worth a section sometime -rewinn (talk) 03:33, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
