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

The Impeachment results of 1868 as they were reported in Harpers Monthly

Here you can follow what the reader of 1868 was reading when it came to the results and news of President Johnson's Impeachment hearing. Of course the news was known that he was found not guilty, but this is from Harper's Monthly Magazine. The magazine of course went into more detail and I thought it would be nice to look at some history when it was indeed news.
