Next up is "The Red Badge of Courage" by Stephen Crane. First published in 1895

Attachment 18463

Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a "red badge of courage," to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as standard-bearer, who carries an American Flag. wiki page

Half way through The Storm Before the Storm by Mike Duncan. About Rome as her institutions collapsed and she headed towards principate. Very good so far

Do you listen to Mike Duncan's podcast, Revolutions? It's great stuff, too. We are working through the French Revolution now. I'd been reccommended his book but haven't ordered one yet.

Been using a real dictionary lately for when I have been reading. It's really nice to not pickup my phone and google the word, advertisements yelling at you, notifications interrupting the flow. Its really quite nice. My dictionary is an American Heritage college edition Dictionary from 1980, so a little dated however I have an issue paying 80$ for a Flagship brand new dictionary. I am also pretty sure majority of the new words are meaningless garbage anyway.

Red badge of courage is finished. It was an ok book, would only really recommend it if you enjoy historical fiction or the civil war.

Now onto people of the earth

"housands of years ago, small hunting bands crossed the fragile land bridge linking the Eurasian continent to the Americas and discovered a land untouched by humankind. Over the centuries that followed, their descendents spread throughout this land. Bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O?Neal Gear bring the stories of these first North Americans to life in this magnificent, multi-volume saga. Set five thousand years ago and ranging through what is now Montana, Wyoming, northern Colorado, and Utah, People of the Earth follows the migration of the Uto-Aztecan people south out of Canada. It is the unforgettable tale of a woman torn between two peoples and two dreams, of the two men who love her and the third who must have her, and of the vision given to the peoples long ago by the spirit of the wolf."
