Americana our history

[ChiefBenderForever]

Who else is watching 'America the history of us' on tv. Some of it is cheesy acting but overall it's pretty good. Would love to see anything you guys have relating to our past, civil war pic's, Lincoln, presidents, how about one of the thousands of morse code letters written from Lincolns office. One of my favorite threads on here was all the Astronaut items, that stuff was amazing !! The older the better but if you have a JFK auto let's see that !! I wish I had something to post but don't, I would like to get a 19th century photo of an Indian Chief, I have seen Chief Joseph and others but they were very expensive so I couldn't get them but someday hope to.

I have been watching the show, and sometimes I feel like I am back in high school, but some of it was pretty good. I really enjoyed the last one

I have watched every episode, so far, and am really enjoying it. My comment to my wife when they mentioned the Lincoln telegrams was: "do you think any of them suvived?"

I had posted a lot of stuff in the last thread about Americana but I wanted to add a comment.
The Teddy Roosevelt House n NYC at 28 East 20th Street is very much worth a visit. It is a National Historical site and contains a wealth of Americana including a signed Lincoln photo.
Admission is free.
