June 5, 2023



A Native American archer, probably from the 1880s. His bow appears to be a self-bow, i.e., made from one piece of wood

Queen Boudicca Quote

June 3, 2023


"I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth. I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom...Consider how many of you are fighting, and why.
Then you will win this battle, or perish. That is what I, a woman, plan to do!  Let the men live in slavery if they will."
