Came in from work tonight & my wife did a wonderful thing. She taped an
episode of the Nova science series, on channel 9 (PBS) for me.
It was titled "Lincoln's Secret Weapon" A report about the Monitor & the

Mine usually shows the episode a few times throughout the week at different
time frames.

Hellow all,
I'm a new member to this group and enjoyed reading the
postings thus far.
I'm very interested in irish history and customs of
the 19th century, mainly because I've traced my
mother's family to the late 1800's. The surnames
include Boyle, Bannon, Denning, Jackson, and White.
