I'm related to General Custer too. Another story that has been pretty twisted.

I can only use one emoji! Hahaha!

Google General Custer Yellow bird. I am related to his Mother through my father's mom. I'm also related General Custer through my mom.

I'll be certain to look that up while I'm searching for the Mason Dixion Line thingy. Unfortunately a lot of history is altered or has crucial facts left out to make things seem a certain way.

Seriously Josh, if you are really interested, check out the PBS documentary by Ken Burns, called, "The Civil War." It is extremely long (like 10+ hours), but it tells the story from both sides on a very, very personal level. Some things were left out, like what Katrina mentioned (and I am definitely not going into that here), but I have the CD set and I plan to watch it again when I have time after I retire. Probably a few more times. It is a haunting piece of film making, IMHO anyway.

We might be twins. I love that! Yes, I'm that geeky.

Thanks for the suggestion I will have to see if I can locate a copy. I'm sure 10 hours is not enough time to get into every facete of the war, I've watched more than enough WW1 and 2 documentaries and read a bunch and still discover new things here and there.

I'm a Preble

as in Commodore Edward Preble and now the USS Preble
There's been a ship in the us navy with the Preble name on it since 1813
Quite an interesting history from before the beginning of the us navy and revolutionary war to present
Now the newest one is the first getting the HELIOS us navy laser weapon system

History is interesting. I know there are lots of passionate people tearing down monuments from the Civil War era, but imo, if you erase those, people forget. Do we really want to forget our mistakes or triumphs?

@dantimdad I was very shocked to see the First Jackson Bank Trail of Tears Kickoff on the sign. Like that was something positive! ;Bored

That is pretty awesome!

The Ken Burns Civil War series is one of his best. Incredible to see someone even attempt 10 hours with no video available! You have to be one heck of a storyteller.

We just had him on my late night live show last week discussing his new series on Country Music. Looks really good (of course).

 

[Katrina71]

Good morning. I'm sleepy. Trip caught up with me I guess.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Skyler is sleepy too this morning. Still in his cozy hole.

Really excited for the expo!!!!!! @Robin Haselden do y'all wanna do breakfast at 11?

 

[Katrina71]

Anyone happen to have any spare thin or nano sized frag racks coming to the expo?

 

[dantimdad]

Don't feel stupid! It is really a joke here now, but at one time the civil war was serious business. Quite literally.

Don't you mean the war of northern aggression?

There actually people around here that still call it that.

What dimensions?

I will print something real quick. There are tons of different designs on the interwebs.
