Whats the story behind "Amazing Grace"? I keep seeing it come up in pop culture that involves war, particularly WW1 and WW2.

Most basic discoveries, inventions, and other revolutionary findings were founded or created before or in the dawn of modern scholarship. Now most things out there that are to be discovered or innovated in their research are heavily specialized in content that some 'Renaissance man'esqe dudes out there can't just simply pick up some side subject to study as a hobby and discover shit anymore. If you truly discover some groundbreaking shit but aren't an creditable expert in the field you discovered it in, you can always find some scholar who is actually qualified and respected to co-author whatever paper or journal you want to publish and vouch for you. Do note that for every oneof those non-specialized autodidacts 'inventors' back then that you read about, there were probably 15-20 peers of each of them that were wrong with everything they published and you don't hear about them. The vetting in modern scholarship is far more often useful and beneficial to society in near most cases compare to when it isn't.

I'm sure any Anatolian shepard could wax as poetic about his favorite sheep.
Besides, if you look at any actual painting or photograph of these renowned beauties from bygone ages, they invariably look like inbred midgets, which is by all accounts, closer to the truth. Meanwhile, hormones and travelers are not necessarily the most reliable influences.

>The Nazi leader shot himself at his bunker in Berlin on April 30th, 1945. Two days later de Valera, who was taoiseach and minister for external affairs, called on ambassador Eduard Hempel to express his condolences.
> it was beyond doubt that some of the G*rman bombers who attacked from up along the eastern Irish coast used the lights of Dublin as a guide to Belfast. He explained that some of the Luftwaffe planes would have approached from other directions as well.
>War News, the IRA’s main publication, became increasingly pro-Nazi in tone, even claiming active IRA involvement in the G*rman bombing of British cities. But more chillingly it began to ape anti-Semitic arguments. Satisfaction was expressed that the ‘cleansing fire’ of the G*rman armies was driving the Jews from Europe.
>A disturbing aspect of Ireland's history has been uncovered by research finding that leading Nazis were sheltered and welcomed by the Irish establishment after the war. A documentary to be screened on Irish television tonight illustrates growing willingness amongst mainstream public opinion to face up to Ireland's role in providing a haven for war criminals.

Does this rabbit fur felt top hat by the Australian company Akubra look good enough for reenacting Napoleonic through late Victorian times? It is quite affordable and durable for the price, as Akubras are very sturdy hats for rough-wearing outdoors. I am asking if you believe that the general shape and style of it is appropriate enough to be considered a pan-1800s hat; a realistic option for all decades of the 19th century. From what I'm aware of, it seems that toppers were mostly worn from the mid or late 1790s onward through the 1850s, by average men, at least in the cities and towns. At some point, probably either before, during, or after the American Civil War, the bowler hat replaced the top hat for regular daywear. Top hats continued to be worn by the wealthy until the early 20th century, and continued to be worn by American Presidents to their inauguration through John F. Kennedy's own (in which he did, despite misconceptions, have a top hat). My views are mostly influenced by an American perspective, but I welcome insights into the history of top hats in other countries, as well.
