With yesterday’s post, on Lee’s surrender to Grant, I have reached a small milestone with my blog. That article was my 100th post since starting this blog, about 3 1/2 months ago. I am very humbled with the response I have received from my readers. To date, I have had upwards of 4,000 blog posts accessed and have received very high ratings on NetworkedBlogs.com -in fact all of them have been 10 stars, out of a possible 10. As I look forward to writing my next 100 blog articles, I wanted to check in with you, my reader. Are their new topics you would like me to explore? Is there something you would like to see changed? What say you?
Yours In Lee & Grant,
Mike Noirot
About Michael Noirot
I grew up in the Central Illinois farming community, of Dunlap. Growing up, I played sports, tinkered with cars and enjoyed photography. While I did well in school, I did not become passionate about history until my early 30's.
I have built a large library, of books on early America, politics and the Civil War. I am an avid reader. Fortunately, I have had plenty of opportunities to travel, over the years, and have been to most of the Civil War battlefields. I work while I travel, so more often than not, I am up, in the middle of the night, to get sunrise pictures, or I will be out until well after dark, exploring Civil War battlefields.
I have other hobbies, and passions, that I really enjoy. Number one on the list would be guitar. I play my guitars on a regular basis, and enjoy the Bluegrass, and Contemporary Christian (CCM) genres. I play a style of guitar, called FLATPICKING, where using a flat pick, you play lead solos, similar to the way a fiddle would have been played during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Laura, my wife, and I also enjoy scuba diving, travel and spending time at our property, in the country. Lastly, we spend as much time with our families, as possible. Thanks for stopping by.
