I suppose it would be irresponsible of me as an author if I didn’t tell everyone that USNI books are currently 50% off… including my latest, “Nothing Here Worth Dying For.”

I can't find anything on Hickman and Reed but the snow motor looks like an early Tucker Sno-Cat. Tucker was born nearby in a log cabin in Jump-Off Joe Creek in 1892.

Query #NavalHistory foljs, any recommendations for a good book on the Atlantic Convoys by the US in WWII? I've fallen down a rabbit hole. Thank you.

Revisiting the campaign on Samar in the fall/winter of 1901 for recreational purposes.
Orders issued, and their execution, eventually resulted in courts martial, conviction, and dismissal for a general officer.

A happy and warm Black Friday to all.
If you have to go out, visit the local donut shop, and get a six pack at the bodega.
Stay safe-ish.

Family keepsake: an old View Master in the box. It must be from between 1943 & 1951 when my grandpa worked at Pearl Harbor. All the photos were of Hawaiian Island & flowers. I love it.
