And this bay was so stunningly gorgeous. And id feel a little guilty. And the question was, well, why is this place so special . How come it missed all those problems that almost every other place in the ocean has . And the answer as we dug into it, me and my coauthor, it turns out that monterey bay had all those problems. It didnt miss them, it had them all. And 80 years ago this was a place you wouldnt want to be standing, right on this beach, doing anything because the water was polluted, the air was foul. The seals were gone, the whales were gone, the otters were gone, the abalone were gone, fishing was bad. Sardines eventually were all taken as well.

Killed or by their wounds. In other words, they died as a direct result of combat in the war. I did some calculations, and i found that in fact about 10 more of the army died of disease, sickness, and other causes that are not directly related to battle. They were simply a product of the very unhealthy nature of military camps, the inability to provide decent sanitation, these sorts of things, which diseases, if they got into an arm camp, they could go through and take a very heavy toll on life substantially more men died as a result of disease, sickness. And then theres a bit of colateral damage that occurs that millyisha die as a result of the british raids of the sort weve been talking about. We might estimate that 15,000, 16,000 americans died one way or another as a result of the war of 1812.
