Basic question here: What does anchor mean and what does it do? The Mozilla help files for TB is just a search on a term (or terms), and is not that user friendly. I searched for anchor and didn't get a link that explained the basics. TIA -- BJ Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

In 1861 part of the eastern territory was cut off and joined with parts of Fresno, Mariposa and Calaveras in forming Mono County. Kern County, cut from the southern part of Tulare, was originated as Buena Vista County in 1855, but was not officially termed Kern until 1866. All that portion of Tulare lying east of the Sierras, with a portion of Mono, was set apart for Coso County in 1864, the name being changed to Inyo County in 1866.
