A great big shout-out to JJW for inspiring this blog. I shall bring my considerable intellectual weight to bear upon the muddle of the Blogosphere. Let us see if it will survive.
So, I've never been to Gettysburg. I'm told it's lovely, though it strikes me as kind of flat and dull (thusly) I have, however, seen pictures of it in some history textbook shoved under my nose when I was an impressionable youth. I'm sure the teacher at the time would have been disheartened to learn that I gleaned nothing from his class but, sadly, he didn't stand a chance. I'm sorry Mr. Whatever Your Name Was in 8th Grade.
I have never so much as seen a picture (as far as I can remember) of Antietam.
Ulysses S. Grant was a drunk, and that's why he won the war of 1812.
Thank you and good night.
