Who's Watching "Grant"?

[Jim Klag]

I am very much enjoying the History Channel series. The production and the history are well done. It is gratifying to see actual history (not reality shows) coming from The History Channel.

I watched the first one, it was like watching the old classic History Channel again. o/c the thread counters will criticize it.

Remember when all that shit was on A&E...it was tagged and ridiculed as "the Arms & Enemies Network"? Then they split to the History Ch.

I can sharpen my own fe-uckin' knives.

Don't you like to hunt for lost gold

Don't you like to hunt for lost gold

Ain't no lost gold 'round here...unless it's hidden in old Quaker cellars.

My Gold is hunting for flint/stone arrow-heads and axe heads.

Come to florida for the lost confederate gold...from research by the University of Florida they feel it maybe located around the Newberry fla. Area because there was a lot of land owned by Yulee there.

That's smart. I just watched it commercials and all.

I watched the first two episodes. I understand that the Grant presidency is disposed of in half an hour. We shall see.

About 5% or so of Civil War wounds were from bayonets, swords, and knives, but in the battle scenes it looks like 50%.

In general, the series has kept my interest.

History Channel programs usually get viewers in the hundreds of thousands, not millions, but I am seeing a lot of people searching google for info on Grant and winding up on my articles the last couple of days. So that tells me folks have had their interest sparked.

Too bad the major Grant sites are all closed. They would have gotten an uptick in visitation.

In Amazon's history bestsellers Chernow's Grant is #1. It is also on sale for 1.99 on Kindle.

It is really a good book.

I have streamed the first one, hope to get around to the 2nd today.
Maybe no one will post spoilers.

Grant beats Lee

Grant beats Lee

Kill-joy.

I haven't been able to see it at all - one of the trade-offs in living in the boonies is maybe you have power, maybe not. My luck is I've always got it when the trash is on but never when the good stuff comes up!

When I was a kid, livin' in the boon-docks we had a sayin', "Every time a dog pisses on a pole, the lights go out."

I made the mistake of repeating that in my 7th grade history class and was sent to the principal's office most likely to take a swatting. But, I talked my way out of it. The principal agreed that I should have said pees instead of pisses, and I reformed my course language...for a bit.

Was there any left? Actually, Californians have it on good authority (nobody knows whose) that it was safely dumped in the San Joaquin River near the Port of Stockton. (By pirates, of course.)

I thought it was on Oak Island or the Superstition Mountains or on a Pacific Island once held by the Japanese or in an Austrian lake or was buried by a lost Dutchman in Arizona. I never cease to be amazed at how many Aztecs, conquistadors, pirates, Nazis, Confederates, Japanese generals and eccentric miners buried their fortunes instead of spending them. These are the themes of most recent History Channel programs.
