Our History Project 04-11-09 - Historic Travel - Washington, Georgia

Each year all over the country vacationer’s and history buffs travel the United States. In many of these towns, cities and parishes lies a historical home that prompts visitors to come in, look around and see what life was like in the olden days. Behind the doors of these places we are allowed to go back in time and take a glimpse of who the people were, learn about the families and see what is was like not to have a TV or a computer.

This week we focus on the historical part of travel and invite you to come along with us. We traveled to Historic Washington, Georgia in Wilkes County to tour a very grand old home/museum and see a great collection of artifacts from a day gone by, among them there are 21 hand painted movie posters that were on display at the famous Lowes Grand Theater.

We had a great tour and learned a lot from the first county in Georgia, but we invite you to explore all of our small communities though out the U.S., the stories there are real and the artifacts are real. What better way to learn our heritage than to hold a little of the past in your hands?

Our History Project 04-04-09 – Charles Barrow – Korean War

This week show focuses on the Korean War and namely Charles Barrow a Navy Medic. The Korean War is also referred as the lost war and it is sad that it is not focused on, hardly at all in our own history. There are a number of sites on the web that tells the story and I have given a few quality sites here that you can visit.

Korean War Project: a little hard to navigate but packed with information of all kinds - http://www.koreanwar.org/index.html

PBS Kids Synopsis of the war with maps - http://www.koreanwar.org/index.html

KoreanWar.com – A lot of great Links and some in depth articles and categories -http://www.koreanwar.com/index.html

The 1950’s in America was a turning point for us where we went from a black and white world to one that was filtered with shades of grey. TV was hitting it’s hay day and reports started to filter in on the world scene, not always pleasant. We went from the Andy Taylors, Honeymooners and edited news reels of the war to a reality of having the war brought home to us nightly. It was nothing comaired to what we have today, but for that time it was remarkable.

Men and women who had suffered through the Second Great War was focusing on families, business and retirement. I was not around then so these are speculations at best, but some I have talked to relate not watching the news because of the images and casualty totals.

It kind of makes you think of – What if CNN was around during any other conflict? The War Between the States where the casualty rate was to a staggering number that in equaled most all other wars together since the beginning of our country. Would the people allow this if it was seen and reported on every night? What about D-Day alone?

This war was in the mist of the Cold War where just the utterance of the word communist would put you at risk. It was the first war that did not have a figure head in person but rather an ideal.

Is it History or Histroy

I know a lot of educators will be viewing the sites and blogs over the course of time and misspellings are often looked down upon. That being said I think we should explain why you see it spelled both ways through out our main web addresses.

I have been a web master for a number of years now and while spelling is not one of my strong suits it has been done on purpose. It may not make since to some but it is a strategy that works.

On Feb. 27th I bought the space for the site. The first posting on the site was on or about March 9th, 2009. We had a zero (0) ranking in any search engine. Today is April 3rd and we now hold 5 out of 10 slots on the first page in the google search engine out of (tonight's search)77,900,000 in one search and 98,700,000 in another.

The strategies between hosts, hostings, forums, blogs and podcast are working. In less than 1 month (4 weeks, 3 really) we have increased from 0 in any search to the front page of them all to the tune of at least 77 Million steps. That is a long way for anyone to go.

It may have not been grammatically correct but it did get the job done.

I will keep the proper name from now on.
