No Dover editions allowed. :-) I have dozens, but nothing with Dover in the title, drat it.

P. S. Wasn't the ship the "Bismarck" --- spelled the same as the capital? I see another copy listed with that spelling.

I'll give Austin/Austen a pass. :-) But aside from not being in the title, of what state is/was Franklin the capital?

(A vague recollection about the history of Tennessee, plus some googling, reveals that Greeneville was the capital of the erstwhile State of Franklin.)

I thought Franklin was the capitol of Kentucky. No?

Oops, Perhaps they considered naming Kentucky Franklin once and that's why I am addled. My apologies.

No problem. I thought it might have been a one-time capital of some state or territory. Always good to pick up more Jeopardy questions. :-)

The menus that I'm getting (from "LibraryThing Talk"
are all 3 - 8 years old, primarily from 2014.
Does anyone else have this problem or any idea wwhat is causing it?

(I got into this thread only by
tediously moving on from
previous editions of it.)
