Fighting for Freedom

It was on this day (August 25) in the year 1862 that Secretary of War Edwin Stanton authorized the use of up to 5,000 black troops in the US army. Many were skeptical that freed slaves could make good soldiers, but these men fought valiantly throughout the war.

Office Work
Things have really changed around the office in the last 90 or so years. This is a photo from the 1920's showing a woman working at her desk, typing. Now you just don't see hats and jackets like that anymore. I love the old typewriter. I can remember when I first went to work, there was only one computer for the whole office, and most memos and reports were done by the secretary with a typewriter. I will admit that things moved a lot slower with that system, but I do think people were a little more thoughtful about what they wrote.
