H is for History

H is for History.  I love history and always have. I think that’s why I gravitate towards the historical romances to learn something new every time I open up a book and see what adventures lie between the covers. I also love watching the History channel and the Travel channel when it comes to watching Pawn Stars, Mysteries at the Museum and other interesting shows like it.

I love the era of the Civil War, not for the bloodshed, not that kind of person but the reasons why brother would go against brother and fight for what they believed in. I like the style of the houses that were built and the dresses and sometimes I wish I could go that far back and see what life was really like. Of course, I would miss having a television, and a smart phone and being able to make my own decisions. I am sure that I would be the character that is the maid or the scullery person and not fortunate enough to be the governess or even the heiress. Although being an heiress might be a bad thing if you look at the rules and restrictions that were placed on them.

I watch programs and then I get interested in some of the subjects and want to learn more. Man where were these shows when we were in high school? I bet we would have been more interested in the subject if we had shows like Pawn stars, Mysteries at the Museum or even Secrets and legends of castles or hotels. Heck even Games of Thrones could get kids interested in history to learn about the time frame whether it was real or not.

I love finding out information on the Salem Witch Trials and why people got to near hysterical proportions on blaming others for witchcraft. I love just learning all that there is to know and research to find out the truth and what was made up. I have lists made of things I want to research and when I write I add to the list.

Thank you to history for keeping us informed and may we ever keep searching for the truth.
