Part of an interesting sounding 3-part program this coming Saturday at the WWII American Experience museum. I'll go on at 2 with a talk about how we geared up for WWII. From a standing start (basically, a 150,000 man army armed with World War I weapons in 1937), we created a 16 million person armed forces and out-produced the rest of the world. The story of how we did that is one of the great accomplishments of the 20th century.

Come on out, it should be a great series of talks.

Our latest book (6th total), History's Haunted Headlines by the Victorian Historian, Adam Shefts. Fascinating book, Adam did a magnificent job of research, scouring the nation's newspapers from 1850-1869 for actual news reports of ghost and spirit sightings and other haunted activities.

Our little publishing company crossed two important thresholds this week. A few days ago, we passed the threshold of 1500 total books sold. And an order this morning took the total for our best-seller, Stories the Monuments Tell, over 1000 copies sold.

I'm gratified that the bookstores continue to order the book and that sales remain brisk.
