As a Southerner and native of the Shenandoah Valley, I offer reflections on the Civil War-era South… and sometimes a little more. But… expect the unexpected

What historical period dominates the (interpretive) landscape, and which are sorely absent?
As I drive nearly the entire stretch of the Shenandoah Valley (excepting the West Virginia counties of Berkeley and Jefferson), at least four days a week, I pass various sites of interests. Few, actually, are marked with any indication of their stories… though I’m aware of the stories for most of them. I suspect many […]
“Happy Birthday!”… and thanks to some of those who made it possible
July 4, 2011 by Robert Moore
I find the 4th of July a time for reflection on some of my people who had a hand in it seeing it to a successful end. Two of my Moore ancestors, for example, signed the Oath of Fidelity and Support during the American Revolution, and provided the cause with, as I understand it, a […]
Occupations in the afterlife: 101
October 5, 2010 by Robert Moore
So… “Eb”… did ya ever think you’d get a gig as a bookend in the afterlife? On top of that, did ya ever think you’d be a bookend for books about Confederate units? “Confederate”? Errr, probably not. But seriously, I love New England headstone art. I picked this up at, of all places (I just […]

I’d like to expand on this more later, in another post, but, for now, […]
Historical errors… they aren’t just for the Civil War, ya know?
July 8, 2009 by Robert Moore
It seems like I’ve been stuck lately in my thoughts of the Revolutionary War. They have appeared, now and then, in posts, but posts haven’t quite captured the amount of time I’ve spent thinking about the Rev War lately. Fact of the matter is that I consider myself a self-repressed/underlying Rev War/Colonial Era enthusiast bordering on […]
A safe and happy 4th!
July 4, 2009 by Robert Moore
Here’s wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! In thinking about the day this year, after a trip to Saratoga, NY last summer, I find it rather interesting to reflect on my Hessian relatives. So, a quick sidetrack from the American Civil War today… Sure, I have my fair share of ancestors who were […]
