The Children of First Man | James Alexander Thom

pick

5 ⭐️s
This is another one that leaves me feeling completely inadequate. I don't know where to even begin to express the scope of the story or the impact it has had on me. I urge anyone that enjoys historical fiction, multi-generational storytelling, and having your heart torn from your chest to read it immediately.

Five HUGE stars.

It wrecked me.

Read it.

48 Liberal Lies about American History: (that You Probably Learned in School) | Larry Schweikart

pan

Schweikart bases his arguments on the assumption that pre-college students are actually interested in history and that they have enough grasp of language to process implicit bias.

More than half the “lies” are the most random things that were marginally, if ever, in any textbooks I had.

What I appreciate about this book is the window it has given me to fallacious conservative arguments.

Bro should chill on the exclamation points!!

BC_Dittemore Oh! My favorite Lie: Native American‘s Were Great Environmentalists. Here Schweikhart argues that the ultimate reason for Indian decimation was their own lack of environmental awareness 🙄. 1mo

Dilara @BC_Dittemore The bad faith is breathtaking! 1mo

BC_Dittemore @Dilara it literally is. Plenty of times where I had to just stop and gather my breath to push on. 1mo

Union Cavalryman 1861-65 | Philip Katcher

pick

I recently delved into "Union Cavalry: 1861-65" by Philip Katcher and Richard Hook, and I must say, it's a phenomenal contribution to the Warrior Series by Osprey Publishing. As someone with a keen interest in military history, I found this book to be a well-researched and captivating exploration of the pivotal role the Union Cavalry played during the Civil War.
