What a nice gift and remembrance.

Appomattox is a wonderful park. The living historians there are superb, as is the condition of the buildings. You can feel the spirits of those who passed through that day.

Honor has died.

Our sense of history is on life support.

And Gen Lee was melted into slag.

Look at how they're handling current affairs, though. I think their cultural influence is on the decline.

This was on my list for years, I finally got it last month.

It is basically a textbook. I bought it for the maps.

The world is definitely different now. The Chicago chapter of the Audubon Society has renamed itself as the Chicago Bird Alliance - cuz, you know, Audubon is purported to have bought and sold slaves, engaged in plagiarism and exploited natural resources. So, a fie upon him and all his works.

No virtue? Audubon is out.

The former superintendent of West Point had his portait taken down and his statue melted. Shame what they did to Mars Robert.

I wonder what Grant or Sherman would say?

[Aqua Letifer]

Sherman would have been there with a blowtorch.

Grant I think would find it disgraceful.
