Don’t be misled by history or any other unreliable source. Will Rogers Will Rogers had lots of things to say about a variety of different subjects. This quote kinda goes along with the one History belongs to the victors Of course, that means that whoever comes out ahead in a conflict is almost always the one to record his story in the annals of history. … Continue reading Quote – Unreliable Sources
During my 55 years of traveling across America, I have taken thousands of pictures, and have only managed to show you a small portion of them. I came up with a couple of ideas to partially alleviate that. But then again, maybe the primary reason for these new subjects is that I want to get my mind off all the insanity presently going on inside the Beltway. 🤬 Continue reading Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica

The simplest definition of generational amnesia is learning from the past so we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again. Continue reading Generational Amnesia…
I can remember, as a young boy, reading a story about George Washington chopping down a cherry tree. It was a noble story about how he took the blame for the missing tree. The trouble was, that I found out not much later that the story was not true. It was just one publisher’s view of Washington’s life. I am sure I have read at … Continue reading One Publisher’s Version Of The Story
I visited the Smithsonian for the first time during my high school senior trip in 1965. We were the first class to ever leave the State for our trip. We went to New York City and then Washington, DC. Until that time, I had barely been out of Indiana, so this trip was surreal to me. I was just a naive farm boy visiting the … Continue reading The Smithsonian
The very first blog I opened in 2008 was entitled InSearchOfAmerica or ISOA. It was about my portfolio of pictures I had taken on my travels around the country documenting historical sites. In those days the Internet was in its infancy so a dozen views a day was pretty good, but the blog just never grew as I had hoped. I have been trying to … Continue reading Seeking US History Buffs
The US really doesn’t have a common history. Each sector has its own. The States making up the original thirteen colonies look back at their history with pride, but they often varnish over the dark times to do that. The southern States, until recently proudly clung to their Confederate flags and that way of life. That is now ever so slowly changing. The Western States … Continue reading Looking at Our History And Asking…
This post is about how TimeLine Chronicles, which is a new site I am now working on, is going to take a much broader view of history than anything I have covered at RJsCorner.

If we don’t know where we have been then it is likely that we will continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. That is what this post is all about.

If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a wordsmith. That is, I am always looking for just the right word for every sentence I write. Most of my posts are written a week or more before you see them. In that week between origination and publication I probably change a dozen words or more to something that better describes what the sentence is about. … Continue reading Documentary Photographer?
I know the title above is rather ambitious for a single blog post, but I do want to give you an idea of how it came about and how some of the statistics might be deceiving. I have been studying this topic for a few weeks now and thought I knew enough to put out a continuous series of posts on the subject, but as … Continue reading The History of Autism
Just a quick snippet to tell you I just added another album to my Flickr collection. This one includes pictures of many of the containers I have photographed during my visits InSearchOfAmerica. Click here to view this collection. Continue reading Containers Through History on Flickr
Even though I was never a Boy Scout, I am a person who tries to be prepared for the challenges I will be facing. If I want to discuss a controversial topic I try to study both sides to see where my feelings might reside. “Think For Yourself” is one of my primary mantras in my life. I simply don’t let others tell me what to think. But then again, maybe that is one of the reasons I was never a … Continue reading Being Prepared…
  I ran across an interesting very concise history of the period between 1870 and 1970 and how it may just be repeating itself today.  It is worth a read if you have a couple of minutes today.
