  • Busy Week

    I’ll be pretty busy for the next week, so aside from the usual Today in the Petersburg Campaign entries, Harpers Ferry Arsenal updates, and a book review later this week, you probably won’t see me until next Monday for the next edition of Fred Ray’s book on Confederate sharpshooters. I don’t think there are going […]

  • In Memorial

    Since this is a blog focusing on military things, albeit over 140 years ago, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on those in my own family who have served their country, one of whom also gave his life in the line of duty. My Dad’s favorite uncle Joe was killed in the Korean […]

According to one Harvard Business School Professor, a civil war is a real possibility following the 2008 election. “We might […]

  • Blogging Lawsuit

    I just read an interesting entry over at Andy MacIsaac’s blog First Maine Forward. Apparently, a blogger in the State of Maine is getting sued by the Maine Department of Tourism due to criticism he posted on his blog about Maine’s latest ad campaign proposal. As Andy points out, this seems rather ludicrous and basically […]
