I told you there was a lot to share. Wonderful history that changes the way we look at things – past and present. As I said in my last post, the history that Diana Gabaldon has revealed to me is astonishing! And I’m just beginning to learn all that there is to know. It is so much fun dissecting these episodes and learning things about my own state. I’m sure enjoying my self-imposed history project and I hope you are enjoying reading my discoveries.
Did you learn something you didn’t know before? Do you have something you’d like to share? If the answer to either question is yes, I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
Thank you so much for reading!!

Beth,
I just love, love, love these historical tidbits! Thank you so much for your investigative legwork. Simply fascinating! When watching 505, I wondered about the penicillin allergy. Claire gives a percentage to Bree and I thought that sounded very high but haven’t been able to confirm. Dr. Claire was referring to allergy testing versus allergic reaction, which might make a difference.
Thanks again for sharing your Outlander history lessons,
Lisa
Lisa,
Thank you so much! I am excited that you are enjoying these history posts. I’m having bunches of fun doing them!! I didn’t think about researching the penicillin piece. If you find out for sure, let me know. Thanks for reading, Lisa! Hope you are safe and well.
Beth,
Thank you so much for all your hard work and research! I love Outlander and I love history so it’s a great combination!
And, now I want to grow goldenseal myself and help bring it back from the endangered list. Thank you again!
Hey Tracy! Thank you so much for your kind comments. I have been having so much fun doing the research for this history series and have learned so much! Let me know how your goldenseal project goes! Take care and stay well!
I too are interested in the history. My ancestors came over in the early1700s. They settled in Eastern NC along the Tar River basen. Last name McGowan. With several generations accounting. I have enjoyed the history and the landscape and construction in both Scotland and NC .
Will there be more seasons?
This was an interesting and fun article. The “Ordinary” is quit nice. I never doubt DG’s research. She’s too much of perfectionist. I want to visit all these places in North Carolina. I have been to Biltmore twice but didn’t see anything else. Thank you for posting.
Hey Beth! Thank you so much for your kind comments. DG is an expert at research and really keeps it “real” for the most part. There are so many places to see in North Carolina that relate to Outlander. You must re-visit!! Thanks again and take care!!
