I have a bunch of old dictionaries, including a set of Oxford English Dictionaries. They are the ones that were microprinted into two fat volumes. I found them in a bin at a thrift store for $1 each. A real bargain.
Old almanacs are good to save as well. They are changed every single year. My most interesting one was published back when Andrew Jackson was president. It was discarded from a government office years ago.
Wise dad. I own a facsimile copy of Webster's 1828 (the first dictionary published in the United States of America) for this very reason. Zero forkery possible...
What an interesting time to be alive. I hope many of us are taking hand written notes. What we're witnessing unfold will definitely be book worthy. I've thought about a time capsule. Creating one..
I started Journaling 4 years ago seriously. It's changed my life. I ship journals yearly to friends and my son. It's soul therapy. Keep your dreams. Burn your frustrations.
An audio history from 1986 on the American Economy from 1870 to the end of World War II by Libertarian and Economics Nobel Prize Winner Murray Rothbard. Includes many references in the the series to go back and look at. It is also available as a free podcast. I just can't recommend it enough. There's so much hidden but real history in there.
Murray Rothbard - The American Economy and the End of Laissez-Faire: 1870 to World War II
The lectures begin with how religion and voting demographics changed in the late 1800s, what paved the way for Democrats to take control of Congress in the 1890s for the first time since before the Civil War, and how the railroad industry started and was brought down by businessmen and politicians alike (with the backgrounds of these individuals as well).
I've been wanting to search for old history books to have in my home hoping someday my adult kids will pick up ,, thanks for the reminder I'm going to search , if anyone has any suggestions for good true history books written by patriot men or woman I'd appreciate
Go to Archive.org and search. Rather than downloading ebook versions that may have been monkeyed around with, download the PDF files, which are scanned images. I have downloaded thousands of books from there.
I’ve tried to locate old encyclopedias from the early 1900’s, just to see what they have changed its eye opening, and yes It’s expensive for a complete set. Sad during the 1990’s people were throwing history books and encyclopedias away, thrift stores would not accept them any more. Tells you a lot about our society, that we throw our history out (books) in the trash. I rescued several books of history from trash heaps, I complete sets of encyclopedias refer to them as much as I can.
I am in the process of downloading the old editions of Encyclopaedia Britannica. I found an archive that has them from the 1st Edition of 1771 to the 10th Edition of 1902-3.
I'm also downloading a ton of history books, Freemason reference books, and more from Archive.org. I download only the PDF versions, as they are scans of the actual pages. The ebook versions might be monkeyed with.
My dad told me when I was a kid to never get rid of old dictionaries because the meanings will change.
Smart man.
This. I have two of Websters finest.

And I learned the truth about Mormon history from my great grandparents' journals.

Who owned the boats?
Why were slave markets closed on Saturdays
It would have been funny if the parents had purple or blue hair. Lol
