History in the Raw (The bare facts of history that you don't get to read very often)

My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

My French Barrel Clock of 1854

I have loved this clock for ages. I have had it for ages. I bought it from a Danish Clock restorer in 1991. I have used it all the time for the last 16 years. Now the clock is well over 150 years of age and still it keeps on ticking. I guess it would put John Cameron Swazy and Timex to shame. But this clock today resides in my library. It will be with me till I assume room temperature. I love barrel clocks from France.
