The Real Unknown


Just netflixed Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery.
The amazing Ken Burns documentary fills in -with amazing landscape cinematography- pretty well the Ambrose book I read almost 3 years ago.

Currently reading (3)

Just started this one, haven't had a lot of time to seat quietly and read it the way I would like to, but, for the few chapters I have been able to read so far; I find it simply amazing.
Yeah, I'm a dumb ass, but I haven heard (up until I read about it on the book) about the Louisiana Purchase, and yes, I knew about Jefferson, hell, I have even been to his Memorial on Washington last January (but took really crappy cell phone pics, way too crappy to even post them here :p ), but I wasn't really aware of the importance, and as side note, the same goes for Virginia; I was convinced that all the landmarks on US politics were made far North, go figure.
