In honor of the holiday season, we'd like to share this festive recipe for "Roman Punch" - a frozen citrus palette cleanser popular in the 19th century - a sort of mimosa precursor. Whether it was served with the addition of alcohol in the ...White House during the Hayes Administration is a matter of speculation- judge for yourself at the link below:See More

Why does the Senate need to look into how much ammunition and guns are being sold to the American Citizens. It is our second ammendment right to have and to bear arms without government intervention.

Several years ago we had the privilege and PLEASURE of visiting the Library of Congress (the main building next to the Capitol). It was SO BEAUTIFUL! We also spent a lot of time in the collection of American Treasures. We still have the book about them. Do they still have that collection available for people to see?- Hello I most abused my freedoms up protect my work my dad vinny gave George Marshall lv. Doezens of songs tv shows movies.

If you could release all CRS records as open data, that would be the greatest gift.- We weren't able to find contact information on the website. Can you please shoot over a phone number in a direct message? We have a non-urgent inquiry. - thanks!

Why are the Bibles and the Qua`rans being placed in the History section instead of the Fiction section? This is really disturbing and needs to be fixed! People are mistaking these books as factual or at least relevant based on your placement. Please fix this as soon as possible, my local library refuses to address it until you do!
Thank you- am trying to find a price on Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman published by Longriver Press in 1976

Want to learn all about a side of war that isn't glamorized in Hollywood or talked about too often outside of the small circle of brothers and sisters who experience it? Wanna know what a war deployment is really like? And why so many vets
...have such a hard time adjusting once they return and why there are record numbers of troop suicides from the current wars? Tread lightly. This is not for the faint of heart. Or for those who don't want the truth. Written by an Iraq Vet, to raise P.T.S.D. and suicide awareness for those who love a vet or are suffering themselves.See MoreUGRR Secret Quilt Code Museum shared a link.
I am rebuilding my website after 14 years. Access to our collections has been a blessing at introducing the truth about difficult topics at my traveling museum exhibits! I use information to balance, educate, inspire and heal communities.
...I retrieved copies of information on the American presidents before George Washington, African, Native-American African-American Slave/Plantation owners and narratives of couples that did get married though enslaved.See More
I've found & exhibited documents showing there were schools for Africans and African American slaves in southern America and many wrote books 1700's-1800's even a plantation that had a hospital.
People can argue with me but can't argue with 1st person testimonies in their own words, written or recorded by them!
Europeans were enslaved in North America, not only indentured and a cruel plantation owner was tried and hung by England for cruelty to his slaves. I found documents on my family and put many of these research facts and links on my research page at www.plantationquilts.com. Thank you for digitizing your information.شوشو المصرىposted toThe Library of Congress
