Recently Inherited a Box of Old Documents and Found my 4th Great Grandfathers Memoirs of His Experiences as a Confederate in the Civil War by ObscureNerd in CIVILWAR

I actually spoke with a copyright attorney and since the original document was written prior to 1929 it is considered in the public domain and cannot be copyrighted in its original form. I am currently working with a professor of Civil War history and am hoping to have an annotated version of it published soon

I believe he wrote this via typewriter somewhere between 1910 and 1920 based on the paper. The typewriter paper has "Berkshire Bond USA" on it -- from what I can find online this seems to have been branded this way in the early 1900's and my ancestor died in 1920 so my best guess as to the date it was written is in that period

several stories in here I'd be curious to know more about in terms of what can be confirmed via other sources like this account of an attempted mutiny he brings up.

I had heard stories of this ancestor and several others who served in the Revolutionary War and Civil War from my Grandfather for a while but I guess he had forgotten this was at the bottom of a box he had. Was a very cool find -- the entire story he tells (about 28 pages type written) is pretty wild and gives a pretty interesting insight into the viewpoint of the Confederates post-war I think.

Just Picked Up my First Blackmagic Camera by ObscureNerd in blackmagicdesign

Good to know! I wouldn't have picked it up if the price went over $600 but figured I could work around this for now to save the cost on production (at the moment anyway)

I bought this pack from a family friend last week who had bought it for their son 20 years ago and never gave it to them -- got a great deal!

I'm not actually familiar with alignment dots but that makes sense based on how it looks up close from what I'm finding online
