Doug shares his history knowledge, thoughts, and TRAVELS! Mostly American history…
Doug reviews a fantastic bio of Ulysses S. Grant by Ronald C. White and goes deep into his own head as he unravels more of what he was taught in school at the same time. A compelling exercise that more Americans need to do… give it a read and more importantly give this book a read!

But of course there was plenty of history along the way including a few hours at the biggest and best preserved Civil War battlefield in Kentucky - Perryville! Lots of photos and information here!
