I have an agent looking into chartering a cruise with The History Guy. This would be a relatively intimate ship- perhaps 100-200 passengers. The plan would be either the East Cost or the Mississippi, and would focus on historical sites along the way. I would do historical presentations as well as mingle personally. Tentatively we would schedule summer or fall of 2024.
At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is an idea worth pursuing. If you might at all be interested, please respond here and we can start to work on details.

On March 13, 1863, the confederacy experienced a munitions disaster, in the confederate capitol of Richmond.
The appeal of one strange object, which achieved dizzying popularity in my lifetime, and today lives on mostly for nostalgia, is not so difficult to explain. All you need to do is turn one on and wait.
