Stonehenge by Matt Doeden 936.2 DOE

I think it is interesting that Stonehenge was used as a calendar, a temple, and a place of burial. I wonder if we will ever know who built it?

The Dictionary of Texas Misinformation by Anne Dingus 976.4 Din

I don't know about some of the disinformation found in this book. It discounts many of the "myths" about the Alamo. I think most of us know the Alamo was a mission not a fort. I think we know that the Mexican flag flew over that part of Texas but come on; we were fighting for an ideal represented by a flag that eventually would be for Texas. An interesting point was that pass the buck means to pass on the deal at a card game or to pass the buckknife. I wondered where that phrase came from. Lots of intersting details in the book, so if you like Texas history, this is a good book for you to read.
