The History Book Club discussion

Hi Erskine,
welcome to the group.

For this club as you get started please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment.
It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them.

When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link after all of the text of your post at the bottom of the post. Placement at the bottom of the post calls the reader's attention to the book and/or author and increases the readability of your post.

This is how the book you mentioned should look:

If you have any questions feel free to ask any of the moderators.
Best wishes,

Hello, everyone. My name is Francie and I live in Georgia. I love reading all kinds of books. I'm a court reporter and enjoy meeting the people with whom I come in contact. History has always been my favorite subject, partly due to my father's military service in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Look forward to all the reading and discussions.

Welcome Mark to the History Club. I love to fly fish, but have never fished for salmon. One of my sons will be fishing for trout tomorrow.:-)

I have never been much of a salmon guy, either. Proably the only guy in Seattle to ever say that. The big thing for me is just being out on the river.

Flyfishing is fun...I have friends so into tying their own flys. I usually buy mine from them.

Scott, Pacific Northwest...Scott you live in salmon heaven.

So I'm off to a great start already, since I posted my first introduction somewhere else. :-D Thanks for directing me to the right place! Anywho...

Hi (again) everyone. I'm Ashley from Colorado. I just recently got into this Goodreads thing. I recently found myself reading a whole lot more lately and am excited about the group discussions. I was surprised to see so many books going through here; I'll do my best to keep up.

Cheers!

Hello! My name is Tracy and I am new to goodreads - but have been a life-long book reader. My earliest memories of reading were climbing up the stairs of a book mobile that came out to our area - I was 3. :)

I read all different genres and think historical fiction will be a good direction for some new books to tackle. Love history - have a degree in political science.

Ashley welcome to the Goodreads History Club. Have fun and enjoy the experience.

Welcome Tracy. I’m glad you joined the History Club.
