Welcome

We all have a desire, no matter how small, to lose ourselves in the past. Through luminaries like George Washington, Amelia Earhart and Jim Lovell and events like the Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, NY, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the fight along the Peninsula during the Civil War, we entice our imaginations, and connect with a piece of ourselves.

Traveling Through History is a reader's blog and a writer's blog! In it, you will read articles about things like the Historic Colleges of New England, taking a trip to historic Frederick, Maryland and other travel articles, Hannah Rantoul and her fight to start the U.S. Sanitary Commission, the Faces of Gettysburg, and the first soldier buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Our readers will comment, connect, and contribute with relevant pieces of their own. We will include interviews, book reviews, photo essays and more!

As always, we welcome your story ideas, press releases and suggestions. I know you will enjoy your journey as much as will!

Yours in history,

Kristie Poehler, Editor
