A New Adventure

Good afternoon, everyone. After much angst and many attempts to find a blog address that wasn't taken already, I finally decided to start a blog. The main topic-the American Civil War- won't be very original, I fear, but it is a subject very dear to my heart. I shall be posting things that I learned from other sources, and I shall certainly try to give credit where credit is due. Along with the known facts, I shall also be giving my opinion about some of the things I post. I tend to have some controversial (to me, anyway) opinions, and since I can find few people masochistic enough to sit and listen to them, I'll put them on the web. I figure they can't be any more fanciful than most of the other stuff on the Internet.

And so, just as Burt Reynolds' character in Starting Over hadn't prepared enough material, and since I can't type any more slowly, I shall end this post and go rustle up something to write about. Meanwhile, I'll leave you all with some pictures to whet your appetites. They are from Gettysburg, and those of you who know me well are probably saying, "Where else?"
