WWII - Both Grandparents fought for the US, and I had family that fought for the Germans, Polish resistance, Britain (under Polish colors) and some were sent to Concentration Camps.
Family reunions were great, it was neat to hear 4 different sides of the war. Av. |

Colonial America, 1645-1750. I think a man could be truely free then, once he got away from "civilized" society.

Western US from 1800 up to and including Civil War.
I'ld like to do more reading on the early Colonial days and competition between the proto-empires. Say 1500 - 1700. Real interesting changes taking place. Emergence of Seapower, firearms, dissolution of church-state power structures, etc |

When I watch "Last of the Mohicans" I feel like I was born a couple centuries late.
Ever watch any of those shows on PBS where they take a contemporary family and have them live as folks did in a past period? Boy, are we spoiled today! |

The height of the flintlock era, and the last gasp of pre-mass communication/transit Euro-America. Life was tough, but people looked ahead, unlike today where we are holding on to what we have and looking back wistfully..... |

Hmmm, the Holy Roman Empire in the early Rennaisance under Maximillion the 1st (The Holy Roman Empire was not the ancient Roman Empire. The HRE was a confederation of Germanic principalities which began around the 1200's). Maximillion the 1st was emperor from 1493-1519.
Of particular interest to me were the mercinary forces he established called Landsknechts, orginised very similarly to the Swiss mercinaries of the time who were considered the premier soldiers of continental europe. Max's problem was that he didn't have the financial resources to afford a large permanent army, so he would have mercinary companies created when he needed them and disbanded them when he didn't need them. |

WW2 first and foremost.
I like reading the life and times of Peter the Great. Good era where he built a western monarchy from a semi-asiatic nation. aw, hell. History of every shape and size, from the Etruscans to modern conflict in the Balkans. EDIT: It's true. If a chick says she is into 1940's history, DON"T assume she knows anything about what battles were fought where or when. She was probably thinking of dance steps or the fasions back then. |

One of the interesting aspects of the Highlander series was one person living through all of these periods.
