Makes You Wonder

So my great-grandparents frequently visited the San Gabriel Mission, possibly to stroll around the beautiful gardens, but there is no explanation given in the diaries. There is also no explanation of why Daniel Boone was not present at New Orleans to shoot the British in the eyeballs under Andrew Jackson's command in the War of 1812. Daniel Boone's sons were there but Daniel Boone, at 80 years old, was himself too old by that time for military duty. Also not offered is an explanation of how we could possibly imagine a connection to Debbie Boone's Gabriel Ferrer when we had never seen the diaries in the first place? Yes, it does make you wonder who did that. And it also makes you wonder why I would have cared anyway even if I had read the diaries. There are many questions there that I cannot answer.
