Someone during our Civil War (1861 - 1865) wrote:
"[This war] may be traced to ... the imagination of certain [Southern] gentlemen
who some thirty or forty years since studied [Sir Walter] Scott's novels, and fancied
themselves cavaliers."
What word would present-day writers use instead of "since"?
THANK YOU
