My favorite history blog is History in the Margins, by Pamela Toler. She writes about historical events that I never knew – or that I thought I knew – and makes me see them through her fresh, witty perspective. (Have you watched the PBS series “Mercy Street”? Pamela wrote the book.)

I’ve been reading her blog for years, so I was thrilled when she invited me to write a guest post about the women who served in the Vietnam war.  Enjoy! And while you’re at it, take a stroll through History in the Margins.
