One of the nicest groups posted on here in a long time.  Simply outstanding!

Not so long as American military forces and personnel are in the fight.

In support of our ongoing house interior renovation, I had to empty a bookcase I hadn’t really looked at in a couple of years.  I was quite surprised to see this April 15, 1893 edition of Harper’s Weekly Magazine. Nice picture of an admiral I couldn’t remember anything about. Why the heck did I have this magazine so prominently displayed? So of course I unsealed it and looked inside. Oh, THAT’S why! Inside is the very first American printing of the Sherlock Holmes “Adventure of the Gloria Scott”! Besides militaria, I have also (in the past, I’m a good boy now) collected Sherlock Holmes memorabilia. He and Watson are my favorite literary characters. Totally forgot about it. So finding it was a nice surprise.  mikie
