Well, I was hoping for something on the Ancient Egyptian front. Didn't someone post something about the AE line next year?

Most of my documents are from the Revolution. Mostly printed decrees from the National Assembly. The best one is a document signed by all the members of the Committee of Public Safety (the re-constituted one after Thermidor), including Carnot.You would be surprised at the low cost of such items...

Thanks for your post. I have a couple of edged weapons from that time period, but the bulk of the collection consists of original documents. A lot of 19th century prints and many 19th & 20th century books as well. Not as many model/toy figures as I have in the FIW part of the collection.

Any chance that there will be anything else in the Ancient Egyptian line, or is that one all played out? :(:(

When I was a child & would see a person/persons acting out in public, my mother used to say, "look away or you'll just encourage them." I want to see the poppy wearers, not the others being discussed in this thread. I believe that we vastly outnumber the right-to-be-idiots in any event. They...

The missus & I are saving our shekels for the upcoming "Harry Potter."

Thanks for posting these interesting links. Last time that I went to the fort was in the '60s, so I was long-overdue for some sort of visit. :D:D When I lived in Buffalo in the '80s, a local TV station set up recording equipment in the Castle in an attempt to "capture" the headless ghost. Alas...

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys Where, aux etats unis, have you travelled?

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys One of my favorite time periods to study & collect. I have Starlux & Mignot soldats. My first time in France, I was introduced to a French stage actor who was absolutely delighted to see the Mignots that I had purchased in Paris. By the way, you...

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys I have an original passeport de la revolution francaise. Will that get me a discount?:D:D

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys I am "cheeky" at that!;););)

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys Mais non! I always wear my sandals & a smile! :rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D

Re: Lynchings in the US in 19th & 20th centurys Certainement, mais you have, because of space limitations, left out so much, including the fact that France has so many excellent naturist resorts. So much to enjoy, and so little time! :D:D:D

Definitely for FIW, especially Quebec!:D:D:D

No, not swept under the rug when I was growing up in the North. It's a topic which so many Americans prefer not to discuss, however. When I taught African-American history, some of my students burst into tears when they saw photos of lynchings, while others became incensed. If you ever watched...

Years ago, when I lived in Buffalo, NY, an elderly WWI vet was strangled to death in his flat by some punk looking for drug money. I believe what makes news like this worse than usual is that these vets went through Hell & back, only to die at the hands of street toughs in search of "easy"...

Every bit a hero. While I know that there will be at least one piper present to pipe him over to the other side, I trust that "The Flowers O' th' Forest" will be among the tunes that will be played. Thanks for posting the news item.

Sorry, the full email address did not copy. Should read: davidkamerance@gmail.com Thanks, Dave

Hi, I sent you a PM & an e-mail about the AE 12 set that you have for sale & have not gotten a reply. Is it still for sale? Thanks, Dave david kamerance@gmail.com

Very pleased to note Cushing's award. Certainly, a great number of troops went above & beyond during the G'burg Campaign. Let Cushing's medal help to represent ALL those who did. I've known combat vets from as far back as the Spanish-American War, all of whom did their duty and none of whom...
