I've taken a little hiatus from reading, had some stuff tape on the dvr and the boss wanted it deleted.
Started this one, looks to be a good'un.

I've been picking up any old books on local history that i find. Im currently reading these two. The local native history is absolutely fascinating, and simultaneously so tragic. 20 years into Oshkosh's history and there's been so much slaughter ::tear:: Also, Oshkosh was known as the Midwest's sawmill. Sawdust city burned to the ground 6 times before they started using more brick :roll:

These two previously read books want me to read them again.
They will take me to, and they will take me through, the June 6th,
D-Day weekend. From 1984 and 1985.

Reviews say it's the best of O'Reilly's "Killing..." series.

Steve, the statement at the bottom on the cover of your book, the merciless Indian wars in America, caught my eye. I'm reading a historical novel named, What We Have Endured. It is written from the view of an old Seminole woman telling her granddaughter what she remembered about the Seminole Wars. Times were very tough back in those days.
