And the Nominees Are...

[Eleanor Rose]

Thank you for visiting Mid-19th Century Life! @grace and I have been asked to nominate three to five threads from the Mid-19th Century Life forum to compete for the Legendary Brass Napoleon Award. I will submit the nominations to @ami and she will post a poll in this forum and feature the thread on the homepage inviting all CWT members to vote for their favorite of those nominated threads. @grace and I need your help selecting three to five threads for nomination. Please take a moment and browse the numerous threads in this forum. If there is one you have particularly enjoyed please post a comment below or send a private message to Grace or me. Your input is needed and will be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate everyone who has started a thread in Mid-19th Century Life. Folks who "like," comment and generate discussion in the various threads are also greatly appreciated. I hope this forum is a respite from the more serious forums, but still informative and thought provoking.

I'm counting on you @christian soldier @captaindrew @Culper Bell @John Hartwell @OldReliable1862 @JPK Huson 1863 @major bill @lelliott19 @Lubliner @Zella @Northern Light @NH Civil War Gal @DBF @luinrina @AshleyMel @donna @RobertP and all the rest!

And because I'm a cat lover : https://civilwartalk.com/threads/victorians'-cat-fears-and-fascinations.144324/


By the way, I didn't get an alert. You apparently need to leave a space behind the tagged name for the alert to come through.

Thanks for your nominations Lu!!!

Okay, as my significant other now and then accuses me of being a shopping addict (of course an assertion without any substance!!), I will nominate your very own thread:

Black Friday is coming - 19th Century shopping etiquette
https://civilwartalk.com/threads/black-friday-is-coming-19th-century-shopping-etiquette.151532/

Ellie. I definitely would like to nominate the thread with the beautiful girl with the long dark hair in a very nice blue dress who is standing in front of a shelf full of books. Do you know which thread I am referring to? David.
