I could go for some lemon cake. Probably nothing else I would choose for celebrating would have pleased Tom but hey - it might be his birthday but it's my celebration !

I was very happy to have visited the old boy in September.

Happy navel day !!

My wife makes lemon bars that I bet the good general would have liked.

Define "good"

IMNSHO epithets describing Jackson would start with A and maybe make it to B.

Great share! I also enjoyed reading the other articles that were visible on the page. Beautiful and romantic women were shooting up the men they fell in love with and the newest gown sensation, the "toilette expose," was for men during the warm weather months. Who knew? Where is @JPK Huson 1863? Bet she'll know more about this.

Thanks for the share!! I love reading newspapers from 19th and early 20th centuries. I love the simplicity and naivete of the reporting. In a way that was the age of innocence.

Nice print.

I read in the newspaper editorial that Grant first sought a commission in the Confederacy.

Any truth in that?
