My name is Brandon Samuels and I ...Hello Patrick, <br /><br />My name is Brandon Samuels and I really like some of the posts you have on your blog. With your interest in blogging, I thought that you might want to know about a new website, timelines.com. The idea is to create an interactive historical record of anything and everything, based on specific events that combine to form timelines. We're trying to achieve a sort of user-created multimedia history, in which no event is too big or too small to record. Feel free to create events using excerpts and/or links from your blog. You will generate traffic and awareness of your blog, and you will be contributing to the recording of history. <br /><br />Since you are interested in the American Civil War, you should check out this timeline. So far it is a work in progress and we would definitely love for more people to contribute. http://timelines.com/topics/american-civil-war/page/1. <br /><br />Give us a try and let me know your thoughts. <br />Thanks, <br />Brandon Samuels <br />brandon.samuels@timelines.combrandon Samuelshttp://timelines.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920009031690353866.post-76021482421342682382009-04-20T23:31:00.000-04:002009-04-20T23:31:00.000-04:00I can recommend an excellent book from 1985, Rober...I can recommend an excellent book from 1985, Robert W. Johannsen's "To the Halls of the Montezumas," which describes how an explosion in print media helped Americans to view the highly controversial war as a grand adventure.FortyRounderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343641854946388593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920009031690353866.post-66793519647665182492009-04-20T19:01:00.000-04:002009-04-20T19:01:00.000-04:00Thanks Pat!

I have always found the second lithograph you posted to be very interesting in that if you look very close, Henry Clay, Jr. seems to resemble his sixty-five year old father, not a young thirty-five year old Kentucky colonel. I did enjoy reading the student's response concerning the continuous presidential loses (1824,1832,1844)suffered by Clay, and the lithograph depicting Clay's son fruitlessly losing his life to Mexican forces at Buena Vista. I also find it interesting that Clay, Sr. will lose the Whig nomination of 1848 to Zachary Taylor, a Mexican War hero!!!Christopher Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972588145436377562noreply@blogger.com
