Really cool project from the NYTimes.

Cool!

If they could maintain the project all the way through, it's got a lot of potential to be interesting.

I thought today's entry Head-Stompers, Wrench-Swingers, Egg-Tossers and Wide Awakes - NYTimes.com
provided some particularly worthwhile perspective.

Today's story on the 54th Mass(the troops in the movie Glory) is great.

Wow I missed this when it was originally posted, guess I have a lot of reading to do.

I'd kinda forgotten about this. Bad on me!

This is a pretty interesting set of pictures from the 50th anniversary of Gettysburg (1913).
