I have been using social networking sites for the past several years. My primary source for sharing Civil War stories and communicating with people that share similar interests is this blog. Facebook is my secondary means of communicating with people with an interest in the Civil War. Yesterday I signed up for a free Twitter account. As I understand, Twitter is an excellent way of sharing short items of interest with people that want to follow what you are doing. I plan to use Twitter to share tidbits on my travels to Civil War battlefields, but might also share some personal items. I invite each of you to follow me on Twitter. If you do not have an account, it is quick to set up and free. Here is a link to my Twitter page:

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.
