Touching the Past!!!

February 21, 2025

We're at the National Archives this week and I got goosebumps when Laura Anderson held up this old bundle of documents and said they were records about the Detachments at Pueblo! Touching the documents and letters these men wrote is a special experience. I find myself grateful for those who preserve these precious items and wondering how long it must have taken the people to write all this information in that absolutely gorgeous cursive handwriting.
