Contrary to some of the other comments, I loved history in school (I did both Ancient and Modern) and love it increasingly the older I grow, especially family history.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this contribution to Taphophile Tragics. It is wonderful to have you on board. I am ever so glad you looked at the back of the grave marker. Excellent stuff ...Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-18607367739196232572012-01-24T00:21:50.960-05:002012-01-24T00:21:50.960-05:00I thought dueling gentlemen aimed to miss their op...I thought dueling gentlemen aimed to miss their opponent.

History is so interesting, I thought it was really dull and boring when I was at school....perhaps it was the teacher, or perhaps you need to live a bit to appreciate the past.<br /><br />I did some research into my family history and it was almost like bringing people back to life, quite compelling.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-74574557082025521602012-01-21T11:34:55.467-05:002012-01-21T11:34:55.467-05:00A fascinating and interesting story; and slice of ...A fascinating and interesting story; and slice of history Sondra.<br />And seeing that gravestone with the bullet holes, wow, kinda spooky in a way.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.com
