I suppose you already know that the National Road was/is also known as Forbes Road. If you fell for Marty's love of PA history, you'd like two documentaries: When the River Ran Red and George Washington's First War. I met the man who plays Tanahgrisson, the Half-King, at Gettysburg's annual "History Meets the Arts" celebration, which is happening this weekend.

That's so funny the way things are interconnected. I went to look at your six random bits of information and see that we have another overlapping karma. You are interested in the French and Indian War. It's curious that I have written about this historic period in a blog entry about visiting southwest Pennsylvania. You can see my blog entry here: <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/instant-regional-memoir-at-a-bed-and-breakfast/" rel="nofollow"> Southwest Pennsylvania Tourist </a> I'll have to think about the tagging game.

I’ll have to think about the tagging game.

When I was in college I interned at a terrific magazine called Ms. Though Gloria Steinem was no longer running the mag in a practical sense, she was still there philosophically. And when a man bought the mag midway through my internship and got rid of the advertising department, Gloria showed up at the offices, proving once again that she was the Joan of Arc of feminism and was there to help save it. That was 1990. Happily, the magazine still exists...and it is not subject to the concerns of advertisers. After you've checked out the works by Naomi Wolf and Marilyn French, come on over to my blog and find out why I'm TAGGING you today. The rules are there, and maybe it'll spark something in your memoir writing and teaching.
