The 1800's are a fascinating period.

I also love reading about that era.

There is so much to write about Tomas Jefferson. I could write to some length about both his curiosity and war record.

One of my favorite topics of study is the Lewis and Clark expedition (as well as the later journeys on the Oregon trail.) which, of course, took place under Jefferson's tutelage.

I've read much on the civil war. Everything from standard histories to personal perspectives. (and then from Walt Whitman to the foot soldier.)

I also love Broadway musicals (I can't name just one there either.)

If you like, you can also email me off list on any topic.
