There is nothing new under the sun

I don't actually believe the title to this post (was not the Internet once new, and not so many years ago?), but I don't imagine much of what I post in this new blog of mine will startle or amaze with its novelty. Mainly I will look back to the past, perhaps fifty or hundred years or so, while noting "current events in the field of history" as I happen to come across them.

I'm encouraging myself to start this blog since my searches for U.S. history blogs have turned up, to my mind, a rather small number of blogs in the field.

I should acknowledge one fellow blogger, however...David O. Stewart, a distinguished (and relatively *new*) historian and old friend of mine. For my money (or should I say time and attention) Stewart's Constitutional Journal is the best blog going.
