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

Quite a partisan ad from the election of 1884
This is an amazing piece of advertisement dealing with the nasty election of 1884. Cleveland and Blaine both had baggage. But we can see who this paper was rooting for. Today we talk about the bias in the press. That is nothing new!
