Movies
Movies? Oh you must mean those new moving picture shows. I have not seen one yet, but I heard Thomas Edison had invented the machine.
Television
What is television?
Books
I read a lot of Shakespeare and have readings at the homestead.
Heroes
There have been a lot of famous people that have visited me...my favorites were FRANK and JESSE JAMES and Wade Hampton. Those men were wild in their day, I knew them back when we were in the Rebellion together.
About me: The Jersey County Victorian Festival centers around the 1866 Italianate 14 room mansion built by Colonel William H. Fulkerson, well known cattleman and horse breeder. Fulkerson was a Pony Express rider, Confederate officer, affiliated with the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and regional railroads. Tours of the home reflect the life of Fulkerson as he transitioned from his Southern lifestyle in Tennessee to life in the North post-War. The mansion is furnished with rare, period Victorian antiques and Fulkerson family artifacts, such as the Colonel's sword. Famous vistors to Fulkerson's estate, Hazel Dell, include Fulkerson's nephew Charles M. Russell, General Wade Hampton, and Frank and Jesse James. At the festival visitors will be able to see early historical demonstrations including coopering, blacksmithing, and woodworking. We also demonstrate Civil War reenactments, a Victorian gentleman's "Duel of Honor," the Jesse James stagecoach robbery, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and Victorian Style Show. "History-in-Motion" can also be witnessed as the early agricultural machines take to the fields at Hazel Dell. Watch as the steam engines plow and thresh wheat and run the 1889 sawmill.
High quality arts and crafts and antiques, such as elaborate pewter items, can be purchased at the festival, along with unique, delicious food items.
Admission charged and free parking, handicapped accessible. Come visit where the "South Meets the North" (and the West, too!) at the Jersey County Victorian Festival, annually on Labor Day Weekend!

Get Net Friends Be one of the very first thousand to create a profile on what will be one of the most popular social networking sites ever. The first thousand profiles will be featured forever on the wall of fame. Space is limited. Thanks and "Can't we all just be friends?"
I have spent many hours reading this website, learning about ridiculous and appaling demolitions in the Chicago area.
One of the cool things you can download from this site are Newsletter pdf files. These are photo-filled newsletters with preservation news. They can be found here:
I myself am not a member of this group and they don't even know I'm promoting them on myspace. I just wanted to make the most of my "Preserve History" myspace profile.
Thank you very much for adding me to your friends list !

"It is because I love him that I wish to be foremost where our noblest will be found---under the Palmetto flag. Nothing should make him for one moment forget his holiest right. The right to defend the soil & honor of Carolina." -Lucy Holcombe Pickens
The burned ruins of Columbia, South Carolina, from the State House steps, 1865
"But amidst all, my greatest wish is that so much heroism, and suffering, and blood, may not at least be uselessly expended; and this, and every other record of them may freely be given to the flames, if from the ashes 'shall arise a bird which shall avenge them all.'" -Lucy Holcombe Pickens
"But it is not a contest for victory, but the sword drawn by this brave little state [South Carolina] is a solemn & heroic protest against wrong, & in vindication of our natural rights---...you must feel...that I am where duty & honor demand me, and whatever dangers surround me, I will be with God's help, true to my name and blood..." -Lucy Holcombe Pickens
"We do not forget! The vacant chair never loses its pathos and pain for us; the dear voice silent in death, still speaks to our constant heart, and the fair young nation drowned to death in the blood of her martyred sons, claims our truest, deepest, our loving tho slient homage." --Lucy Holcombe Pickens
Hello :) I wanted to come by and visit, and to let you know that I'll be a guest on Para Women Radio on Sunday, September 23, at 8 p.m. EST. Come by this link and listen that night!
Don't worry if you can't make it that night though because you can download the show anytime after the live run. It'll be a good show and my first public engagement talking about reincarnation and Fanny Chamberlain.
