I love the quiet of solitude and the sound of the sea.
I also like to read in the shade on the beach.
My actual book is THE DEMON OF UNREST by Erik Larson.
If you think American politics is polarized and violent in 2024, you need to read about the Presidential Campaign of 1860-1861 when Abraham Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery...
The U.S. Civil War occurred from 1861 to 1865. It began when Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, and ended with the surrender of Confederate forces in 1865. The war resulted in an estimated 750,000 soldier deaths, making it the deadliest conflict in American history.
The total US population in 1860 was 31 million.
Enjoy the last weekend of July 2024!
See the book THE DEMON UNREST
