Historicon and escapades

Just about four weeks until Historicon and our usual east coast history expedition.  This year, in contrast to previous trips, we are doing the history expeditions following the convention, not before.  Quite an elaborate schedule, that takes us from Philadelphia and ships moored in or nearby — USS Olympia and USS New Jersey — to Gettysburg and then into Virginia, with ACW stops along the way.  Am very much looking forward to visiting Richmond.  This will be a trip to remember, I am sure.
