Poster Saturday: Post World War Two National Guard advertisement.

An advertisement appealing to veterans of World War Two shortly after it had ended. The copy writer was obviously trying to speak GI.

I'm sure the Guard was full of World War Two veterans right after WWII, but it seems to me that most of the Korean War Guardsmen I knew when I was in the Guard, and there were a fair amount, had joined in the late 1940s and had no prior service. I can see why WWII vets might be reluctant to join, given what they'd just been through.; Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 7:07:00 AM MDT

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
