Description of Pictures: Join us for a special event at the President Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, D.C.!
This National Trust Historic Site is hosting a book launch, reception, and panel discussion on Thursday, November 8, at 6 p.m. for The Great War in America by Garrett Peck. This new book reexamines the American experiences during World War I and the unexpected changes that rocked the country in its immediate aftermath.
In conversation with author Garrett Peck is historian Donald Shomette, author of multiple books, including one about the history of the Ghost Fleet of the Potomac, a National Treasure of the National Trust. Edwin Fountain, Vice Chair of the United States World War I Centennial Commission, will moderate the panel. A reception with light refreshments will follow at 7 p.m.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Featured Folk: Some of the people here can also be seen on other pages on this site.
