About meI'm a working librarian and was trained in history. My skepticism about corporate capitalism is such that I enjoy societal critiques. Don't read much fiction(except Richard Powers).
Is there anyone else in the world interested in the history of the German Kingdom of Hanover, especially in the early 19th century?
About my libraryI buy books that really interest me or that I cannot easily obtain from academic libraries in my area. Some of these books I've had since undergrad days quite a long time ago. The tag DNO means I have read this book cover to cover but do not own a copy.

When I visited I really enjoyed the Truman home and library. Also my older son and I went to see the Negro League Baseball Museum and loved it, for a time he was really into that subject.
Funny also that you mention German history, I found that so interesting when I had a class on it, and my son just finished a book called [Dreadnought] by [[Massie]] which is WWI (now one of his favorite topics)
That crazy Kaiser, what a nutcase!
Also nice to see another Heathen! Odd for Missouri isn't it?

Fort Ord is now a University, CSUMB, I have my BA from there. They have made some wonderful improvements there, the streets are still named the same, and many of the old buildings are waiting to be taken down, just lie abandoned.
Thanks for your answer about this book. I don't know if remembering a book you read 22 years ago is odd for you, I know it would be for me. Now that we have LT I review everything I read and so hopefully I will remember my books 22 years from now that would be 2031!
Thanks,
Susan

I do not have a connection with Saline County, MO -- just a long interest in American Western History. I found the Hardeman book particularly interesting and informative.
