I put together an article for Texas Highways regarding Juneteenth. The historical photos are fantastic but what I found most interesting were the stories of the former slaves. The one regarding Uncle Bob Ford and his roll in The Great Hanging at Gainesville --- one of the really tragic events in Texas history ---- is pretty mind blowing. I'd be mighty obliged if y'all would read it.

I tried on my grandpa's Army combat/field uniform from WWII one time, and I have no fucking clue how he was able to wear that thing in North Africa.

I mean, I get lightweight high-color long-sleeve shirts to keep the sun off of your neck and arms, but damn.

Consider that the folks in these photos had never experienced air-conditioning, ever.

Thank you, Rip. I'm trying to determine if I like the black background with white letters or a white background with black letters like the default here here at Surly horns.

All the thick woolen stuff works in the Union states but man in the Confederacy too?  I suppose only rich people had access to seersucker and such, and everybody had 1 outfit and if you only had 1 outfit….its got to be a damn suit
