pickI enjoyed this book but to say they‘re all “lies” across America is an exaggeration. Many of the examples in the book are “omissions of historical facts across America.” The book also goes on a bit too long and gets a bit redundant at times, but I enjoyed it even if it was nowhere near as riveting as the author‘s original work. 3.5/5

pickA good one, especially if you are in the history business. Can't say I'm in agreament with everything, but the idea that a house museum must root its importance in the local but become relevant in the broader to remain relevant and survive in the longterm, I can support. Also that not all historic house museums must have inherant perenial value. Thought provoking.
Obligatory Minneapolis photo.
Last college reading is finished! 9 more days of classes and 11 days until graduation, not that I‘m counting.
The really creepy part, although their fire was significantly smaller, it also was around the roof. We need to preserve our historical sites, whether they‘re religious or secular, your particular history or religion or culture, or not. We are all@connected, and we all lose when we abandon history and culture. #historymatters #historicalsites #culturalvalue #historicalvalue #humanvalue
