I just got done with a History-1877 seminar, so I am drooling over your civil war photos; they're great!
It's always much more fun to see personal photos rather than commercialized/touristy photos.

Is that you in three photos?

Yep thats me, and ohhh god I was in heaven!

What was the History-1877 seminar? what did it cover?

Funny thing when I was at Fredericksburg, I deciced to approach an older couple I overheard complaining they had missed the tour. I told them whatever questions they had Im sure I could answer, and after talking about 5 minutes there were then another 6 people in front of me. So I says "well that pretty much concludes what happened at this point of interest, but if you all want we can walk over to the next sign and I can tell you what happened there." Well another 45 minutes later I had walked most of the park talking to all these people....shit Virginia needs me, errr I need Virginia one or the other.

Really? That's fantastic! So, have you ever considered being a tour guide of sorts?
I'm sure you would be great. And what a fun job. What are you planning on doing with your History major (right?)?

Have you ever been to D.C.?!

My lecture covered: The Second Party System, The Westward Movement, The American Revolution, Slavery, Reconstruction, etc.
