Btw, I told you about the wrong book. XD It is actually The Lincoln Myth, not The Lost Order, by Steve Barry. And you should still check it out if you have a chance. (Actually both of them are awesome with the history and all in them.)I just read it again and was freshly amazed. I do have to say that it is a little bit heavy on some…[Read more]

Ok, here are my thoughts, since we’re not really getting a ton of feedback from the other
You both wrote equally wonderful, yet totally different stories. There are so many things I love about each of them and I think either one is a worthy entry.

@jennythefaun, do you WANT to enter your story? I don’t want you to feel pressured, so if you…[Read more]

@everyone

Sorry I have been gone for so long! Finally back now… XD

@pensword

Wow, cool! I will have to check that book out. Sounds really neat.

@lrc

(Love your short tag, btw. Lol!)

Ah, I get the “want-to-get-involved-in-every-topic-like-crazy-but-don’t-have-time” thing! Thanks for saying hi, though. 🙂 And I love that line that @his-bard…[Read more]

Hawaii was illegally overthrown in the 1880s and they have been petitioning to regain their independence ever since then. Their Queen headed up the movement until her imprisonment in 1900s (ironically for treason against the US government), but its been going pretty solidly since then.

That’s just a little fact I learnt…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah Thanks for inviting me into this conversation!

There are a couple of things I’d like to clear up, having studied a rather extensive amount of books and articles on the Civil War.

First of all, just a quick spelling correction, you’re both spelling the term as “succession” when it’s really “secession”.  “To secede’ is very…[Read more]

History is such a tricky thing because in most wars, each side had good and each side had bad. I thought I had always known that, but in studying the Wars of the Roses era I found it all the more true. I’m sure if someone wanted to spend the time, money, frustration, and tears they could power through books and articles (and family trees…[Read more]

@his-bard

YAS!! I love Henty’s books. And that one was amazing…glad you mentioned it. That was a real eye-opener to me as far as Britain was concerned…really, really interesting. I learned a lot from it as well. 🙂 I found it really neat how the MC was willing to risk his life helping a mistreated slave, as well. Kinda correlated with several…[Read more]
