The only problem is that only the South Branch (sort of) flows north. The main course, if anything, heads south. I grew up in Eugene, OR, at the headwaters of the Willamette, which really does flow north. But I don't recall any of my high school chums telling me about the Willamette and the Nile.
How did Saint Margaret of Scotland die? Margaret died on November 16, 1093, at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, four days after her husband and son died in defense of the castle. Edit
English law decreed that anyone who refused to plead and to be tried should be pressed to death.. So on the morning of March 25, 1586, after sewing her own shroud the night before and after praying for the Pope, cardinals, clergy, and the Queen, Margaret was executed.
