Great museum (and awesome that it's free). Also a beautiful building.

I've only lived here less than a year but damn I love this state.

Saw my first mountain goat near the summit of Mt Massive last weekend.

Colorado gets cooler by the day!

It's the anniversary of the 1863 attack on Battery (ahem - not a Fort) Wagner, led by the famed 54th MA. Here's an award-winning article I wrote for Army History about the three NH regiments who joined the 54th in the attack. The 7th NH was hit particularly hard.

The battle record of this ship is incredible. Remarkable it didn't sink after that damage.

Freaking gmail sent the registration email to my promotions and so I didn't see it. Now I missed the sale and looks like all sold out.

Yeah I'm gonna repost this for the actual anniversary

I wish I could have grown facial hair like this at 26.

As we hit the Gettysburg anniversary, here's my annual reminder that Freeman McGilvery and the U.S. artillery played a far more important role in stopping Longstreet's July 2 attack than anyone on Little Round Top.

This is actually a very good little show. Might be my favorite from the July 78 box

I thought this place had a chance to be different, but it just turned into the same preachy nonsense that the old place was.

This is disgusting. These records belong to the American people

It's my first time back in NC since Helene, and I'm stunned by the devastation even months later. Those scars on the mountains are all new landslides.

Can't wait for all the people who proclaim to be "history buffs."

Read this great quote this morning from Thomas Paine's The American Crisis, No 4 (speaking to General Howe):
"We are sure that we are right, and we leave to you the despairing reflection of being the tool of a miserable tyrant."

RIP Brian Wilson - a pure musical genius. The BB remain one of the most important pop and rock acts in American history.

I love almost all of Brent's songs. They're catchy as hell.

Fell into cactus for the first time since moving to CO. 0/10 would not recommend

I think it's fine to appreciate the architecture of a 19th century mansion, as long as the appropriate history of slavery is also part of the interpretation. The wedding stuff is just gross though.

I watched it all in real time. One of the best Star Treks, imo

Today is a real honest to God rainy day in Colorado.

I didn't miss this after leaving the East Coast. Bring back the sun!

Second Manassas campaign was long overdue for some new scholarship.
