Magnet #718 - Harpers Ferry, WVMy friend got this magnet for me - for some inexplicable reason, she's now been there twice, for like writers conferences. I kinda giggled when she brought this back, because really, everything I learned about Harpers Ferry really stemmed from Virgilia Hazard's storyline in North and South, the John Jakes version.
I know! Sad! But, who says television is the wrong way to learn about history. At least I've heard of Harpers Ferry. I'm just sayin'.
And, I could totally research the subject, and go into the battles that took place here at here, and about John Brown's Raid, but honestly, I haven't been, and I'd just be doing history a disservice, trying to rush to get this done before midnight. So, I'll wait for when I actually get there.
Plus, this way, if ever I get there, I'll be able to pick up another magnet, and magnetblog to my heart's content....and perhaps learn the real history behind this place along the way.
You know it's not that far from DC, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, I know. But there's so much to do in and around DC, that I almost never get to go outside of it...
