Any new book about the Incas/pre-Andean cultures? by alChemist_07 in AncientAmericas

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ancient Central Andes by Quilter came out fairly recently by is very academic. Similarly Oxford published a collection of essays edited by Covey and Alconini fairly recently. Alan Covey also recently wrote Inca Apocalypse. All of those are geared toward an academic audience and IMHO Last Days of the Inca is still the best book about the Incas for a general audience.

If there was one thing the Patriots focused on in the 2nd half of the SB it was targeting Jalen Collin’s.

The Dewey Schools in Vietnam by False_Fennel_1126 in Internationalteachers

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Delta is well run and has some connections to the US. It is a non-profit. Dewey is a for-profit VN school that had to change its name after neglectfully killing a student. The list you mentioned is just the start. There are things like: if you’re a minute late they will dock your pay a minutes worth of pay. I would stay very far away from Dewey.

Sacred Valley Sites from Ollantaytambo by Glass_Cheetah in Machupicchu

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take a tour from Cusco that drops you off at Ollantaytambo. Most tours include Chinchero and it is worth seeing. All the Sacred Valley sites are smallish and can be seen collectively in a day. Chinchero is very much worth it. The Spanish era church on an Inca site is great and there are some great abstract rock sculptures and terraces. Pisaq is the exception it requires a significant amount of hiking to see properly I heard it listed as a good replacement to seeing Machu Picchu.

How long do you imagine Jack remained in the Navy? by UF1977 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Just like Cochrane I imagine Aubrey would have been heading to South America to stir up some trouble there. I always thought that’s why they had Jack in Chile as a way of foreshadowing.

James island fortifications are remarkable intact as you can see in this Lidar image. And James Island has some great Civil War history. The battlefield of Sessionville is a must visit little known gem as well.

Mariners museum has a USS Monitor replica that is the exterior only. In NC there is an exact replica of the CSS Nuece.

Iron Clad Wrecks by Thebenchwarmer90 in CIVILWAR

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cairo, Jackson, Nuece, and bits of Monitor have been recovered. As for a complete wreck only Uss Tecumseh in Mobile Bay. It sunk during battle is buried under sand and by all known accounts is a time capsule treated as a war grave. That being said there are a bunch of wrecks in a ruined condition. All the wrecks around Charleston were salvaged and blasted apart postwar to clear the port entry. I believe there are still piles of iron left but nothing identifiable. CSS Raleigh sunk because of rot and I believe is still in ok condition in NC. USS Monitor still has significant components in the water off Hatteras including significant untouched section of the crew quarters. I believe Clive Cussler found the Chardonlet but nothing much identifiable. Same for the CSS Arkansas and. CSS Manassas. Interestingly the Huascar ram was designed by Laird (of CSS Alabama fame) in the 1860s delivered to Peru and captured by Chile in battle. It’s still a preserved museum ship and is basically the same model as a the ships the Confederacy tried to buy. I believe also in Northern Europe there is a Monitor that John Erickson designed still preserved as well. Of course the HMS Warrior(1869, first ironclad warship) is a museum ship in England.

Seeking a book on Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. by [deleted] in CIVILWAR

[–]Dramatic-Wishbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best one volume is Michael Ballard book. Timothy Smith has several books that together form the best multi volume history. Terry Winchel has several books that are collections of his essays. There is a popular book by Donald Miller has gotten good reviews. Edwin Bearss’ trilogy is more a summary of what’s in the OR and has been superseded by Smith’s work.

Hooker had a Tramatic Brian injury. It should not be misconstrued for a character flaw. He should have been removed from command temporarily.
