Michael Coker, curator of South Carolina Historical Society, recently started a new group on Facebook – The Lincoln Assassination. As the group name reflects, the group is dedicated to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The following note from Michael describes the group:
“If anyone is interested in the events and people surrounding the Lincoln assassination, I am the admin for the only such group on Facebook. I have 30 links posted, over 200 related photos, and use the discussion board not only for debate but also to post historic articles of interest. I invite one and all to come join the conversation!”
If you are a member of Facebook, follow this link to join Mr. Coker’s group:

If you are not a member of Facebook, I encourage you to sign up. There is no cost, and there is a significant amount of Civil War content on Facebook, including a group I started, American Civil War Battlefields. Check out this new group – it is very interesting.
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.
