This week, ending in December 11 2014:
Today's thread is for open discussion of:
History in the academy
Historiographical disputes, debates and rivalries
Implications of historical theory both abstractly and in application
Philosophy of history
And so on
Regular participants in the Thursday threads should just keep doing what they've been doing; newcomers should take notice that this thread is meant for open discussion only of matters like those above, not just anything you like -- we'll have a thread on Friday for that, as usual.
I posted this a bit back, and would still like discussion on the questions I posed within. It pertains to Philosophy of History.
With the new K.G.C. link to Nebraska City as a factor,it lends credibility to his escape route as described to Finis Bates in Texas. Now we know why he turned north and went to Nebraska City after healing up in Indian Territory or what is now Oklahoma. I would like to here what you have to say about it.
Did John Wilkes Booth Die in Garret's barn or did he come to Nebraska City in 1866 to receive the assassin's cut of gold and a wagon to haul it to Texas in?
