Thank you for starting this project and I'm relieved to know that you don't plan on posting every single day. Not just for your sake but for your readers as well. The daily WW2 postings was a lot to absorb! Yet it was an admirable project and one that can be easily repeated again - now that all the work has been done.

Yeah, WWII got to be practically a full time job. No more of that, for now anyway. I hope to inject variety into the series but so far only "Bleeding Kansas" has provided excerpts for specific dates in 1855. There are a few for next year from some other books but not many. I expect that to change as I get deeper into it. In the meantime, I got a recommendation for www.newspapers.com that could provide material for us. It is said to cost $10 a month and has 40 papers for this date. I don't want to get into that myself, but if anyone else is inspired to post 160-year-old newspaper articles the new ping list is on my profile. I believe that would be an appropriate use of the list.

Please note that this is a very serious matter to those people, they leave no doubts as to the issues, and their side in it:
