Abe is getting updated. The new, technicolor $5 bill goes into circulation March 13. Has anyone but me noticed that, just like some Latin American country, the more colorful our money is the less it's worth?Speaking of money. . . .
We have four titles left for Christmas giving:
The Darkest Dawn: Lincoln, Booth and the Great American Tragedy (paper) $22
The Day Dixie Died: Southern Occupation, 1865-1866 (hardcover) $25
Bloody Bill Anderson: The Short, Savage Life of a Civil War Guerilla (paper) $15
We also have a handful of Stories in Stone, the book on Topeka Cemetery. They are $10 each.

Kansas Public RadioToday was Kansas trivia day on KANU and I just happened to be listening (as I am every day) when they asked, "In which Kansas town did Elizabeth Taylor spend her first Christmas?"
Imagine how edified I was when Kevin S., a neighbor, knew the answer was Arkansas City because he read it in our Kansas Journal of Military History. Kevin had come by our house a few days ago and picked up a copy of Bloody Dawn, the only book of Tom's he had not read, as well as copies of our magazine. Bless his heart. . . .

Oh, and Elizabeth's paternal grandparents lived in Ark City, where she spent a lot of her childhood, and I believe attended kindergarten.

We showed my grandfather the changes when they put out a new twenty, I think, and he remembered several changed through his life, including a time when paper money was much larger.
