In case you took a long holiday weekend, here are important things that you might have missed:

Chris Bray,"The Historian as Soldier: Shadows and Fog" (Introduction)
________,"The Historian as Soldier: Shadows and Fog" (1)
________,"The Historian as Soldier: Shadows and Fog" (2)

There were also two remarkable Carnivals:
History Carnival XXIII at Rob MacDougall's Old is the New New; and
Teaching Carnival V at Ancarett's Abode.
