	A Biographical Sketch of Captain James and Mary Sabinal Campbell
		According to Mary Campbell, he "soon rendered himself quite the favorite...by virtue of his good humor and the narration...of his haps and mishaps on land and sea." Following a whirlwind courtship, Mary and James were married in a bond ceremony, and Campbell settled down to a life as a farmer and stockman.
		Campbell always spoke of Lafitte as sailing under letters of marque; that he was a highly honorable man and a privateer, but unhesitatingly denied the general impression that he was a pirate.
		Campbell valued her 1,476 acres of land at $5,000, or about $3 an acre, and her personal property amounted only to $500, probably the valued of farm impliments and livestock, but certainly not enough money to include the value of slaves.

	The Feral Sheep of Campbell Island
		Campbell Island was discovered in 1810 by a sealing captain employed by the Campbell brothers of Sydney.
		They never returned, and in 1954 when the government gazetted the island as a wild life reserve, a writ was served requiring removal of the sheep with failure to comply being forfeiture to the state.
		As this percentage exceeded the norm at the time the island was stocked, we may have been seeing the start of a trend, noting that the Pitt Island and Arapawa sheep populations went to roughly 90% coloured over a period of 130 years.
