Throwback Thursday (5-26-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment was from the early day of my bar business.  Back then I called the place Little C.'s and I didn't have as many types of booze as I do now.  It was a nice little bar and the perfect precursor to the bigger and better LC's Saloon that you all enjoy today.

Gettysburg Photo of the Month (May 2016)

Hi everybody,

This month's photo was taken during my trip to Gettysburg in April 2012. These are the fields near the Mississippi and Louisiana Memorials where on July 2nd, 1863, Confederate General William Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade attacked the Federal troops stationed along Cemetery Ridge.  This vicious attack (known as Barksdale's Charge) was eventually repulsed with heavy losses on both sides and General Barksdale was killed.
