When I was in school I really didn’t like history that much, at least the way it was being taught; there was just too many dates to remember. I really wanted to know what the real story was behind all those events; and how did they affect our nation overall. In addition, when I visited those historical places I wanted to know what I was seeing; you know, what happened on this spot?
As I traveled around the country, visiting the many sites of our history, I tried to find the backstories on what happened there. I loved finding those little, and in some cases, unknown facts and tales that added depth to what I was seeing, and also about the event itself. I soon realized that, yes, I really do love history!
With these posts, I’ve tried to express the wonder and amazement that I discovered while exploring our nation’s past. I hope that my work has been successful in doing that for you also.
