Welcome: The Library of Congress
Welcome to my new video blog. For those of you who followed my three-year series of posts about the history of the Fourteenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, this blog will be quite different. For one thing it’s a video blog and as the following video will show, the content is very different as well.
