I wonder how many after surviving a cold hard winter thought 'you know, things wernt that bad back home'.

I have to say, thats a very clear film for the time, much better then the zapruter film. Just doesnt have the famous content.

I recorded a show from the History Channel which discussed the rise in cocaine use since the early 20th Century or perhaps the late 19th Century.  It's interesting to learn how these drugs gained popularity at different points.  I do realize that opium appeared to be socially-acceptable at one point as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tells of of Sherlock Holmes taking the drug (I believe this takes place ~1885).

I dont know how acceptable it was. If you remember Dr. Watson would crtizize him severly for the habit.

Wasnt gold about 20 dollars an ounce then? I am probably wrong, but if thats close, then yea it would be more then ten percent.

It seems Georgia got the bitter end of both the Revolutionary war and the Civil war.

I visited the historical district in Savanah some years ago, down on the waterfront. What a beautiful city! I'm glad Sherman spared it.

I cant imagine how they would have taken that idea seroiusly in the first place.
