So here's why I like it... I have over 1000 plays and theatre books at home that might have value for others ... but how to communicate what I have? And then, it was so fun to put in some obscure titles and find out who is out there and has the same one. I don't know. It was a "contact point." Go figure.
Staying connected to family may mean taking a step back-in time even-and letting yourself play with your kids.
Learning to use history for a lifetime of learning
Here are titles of some books I have used to study the Gettysburg Campaign: Pickets Charge by George R. Stewart dated 1959, use of First Person reports VERY good. Gettysburg-Balttle & Battlefield by W. C Storrick, was a participant of the battle as well as one of the first 'guides' of the field, poor source, in as he relates many of the myths of the battle..; Three Months in the Southern States by Lt. Col Arthur J. L Fremantle, with the Southern side as ' the eyes and ears of Queen Victoria' wonderful perspective of the southern side; and he continued to welcome southerns in England for years to come.
Knowing the author
This was my son's first published book. In working with him I learned the ins and outs of self publishing, writing, and rewriting, and rewriting; but the reward of working with him has been 'priceless'. Interested visit amazon.com for a copy of this book

Books that Changed or made me.....
Book create us, making us think, and driving us to choose; Hobbies, entertainment, health issues, even jobs. They also connect us to others. Here are some books that are my connections.
Mother, sister, harper, child and other. I studied the Civil War, especially Gettysburg as a personal inrichment program. Harping is now a new learning project; to keep learning keeps your mind, body, and spirit growing and dynamic. Staying in touch with my family keeps me young at heart, and with all their ventures, occupations, hobbies, etc. I need to stay current with their interests to stay involved with them. Many things are not book oriented. My life is so much more hands on; so gardening, quilting, harping, keeping up with my kids, just keeps me going.
