Some New News About an Old War.
A big thanks to the excellent Civil War Interactive Site for alerting me to these stories. If you're a Civil War buff, you really have to put this on your favorites or get the feed.
1. ARYANS AT GETTYSBURG-- The June 18th Gettysburg Times reports the Aryan nation and 4 Civil Rights groups will be holding a rally at the old Cyclorama Building Saturday and the NPS is getting ready for it.
Sadly, I am sure these hate groups will be flying Confederate flags which will just get certain people to connect the flag with racism even worse than they already do.
They have the right to rally like this, but we also have the right to ignore them.
2. LINCOLN MEMORABILIA-- The June 17th WANDTV NBC News reports that Springfield, Illinois' Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum has received a rare photo and two letters from the Robert E. Myers, Jr. Trust in St. Louis.
The photo is a rare (one of only two known) picture of son Tad Lincoln at age 8 with his father. The two letters are referring to Col. Richard Dawson Goodwin raising a regiment of troops.
Members of the Myers family are descendants of the Goodwin family.
