Welcome to Litsy!

Definitive history indeed! I learned a lot about an event I thought I already knew well. The personal details about the lives of some of the people that were there made it even more interesting. Picture is of my Christmas present to myself that arrived yesterday :)

First March read. I had several to choose from and this was the one that called to me.

Reading for NHD(National History Day) about my topic. This book is pretty good and informative though dense and it's a bit difficult to find great info.
