History Blogs

On my search for other History Blogs I stumbled across a couple I really like.  The first is titled Adventures in History and can be found here:  http://history.writingwithtony.com/

I like that he covers everything from Baby Boomers to NASA.  His posts are short and have great visuals.   What caught my attention is the most recent post on his blog.  It is about a book that he reread about the Holocaust.  It seems that he learned something new and wanted to share it with those who read his blog.  He also listed eight different links that you could go to if you would like more information.  He writes about what he finds interesting in a way that may spark an interest for others. 

The second Blog I came across is Random Thoughts on History which can be found here:   http://randomthoughtsonhitory.blogspot.com

Despite its name the blog seems to focus on the Civil War era and Reconstruction.  I am always looking for a good historical book to read and he has a section titled “Just Finished Reading” in which, surprise, he reviews a book he has just finished reading.  The book reviews are a little long but I did find two books to add to my ever growing list of books to read.  Some of his posts are just random tidbits that he just came across and wanted to share.  I think a blog is a good outlet for random fact sharing and something I may soon be blogging as well.  That way those around me don’t have to be subject to my “So I am reading this book “ statements that always ends with me rambling on for ten minutes while a glazed look comes over their face.
