Contrary to what I have read here, I think "Pawn Stars"

[Benton D Struckcheon]

39. A note on the History Channel and why it probably does what it does

This morning we went to the local library for their annual book sale. You can always get interesting, neglected books for very little.
The most interesting find this morning was a book simply titled "America", on our history from 1753 to 1783, copyright 1925 by the VFW's Americanization Department. No lie.
Bought it because it had all kinds of first hand accounts of things like The Boston Massacre, Wolfe's defeat of Montcalm at Quebec, etc. I have to sit with a pair of scissors because every few pages I run into the fact that two pages are still attached to each other, and so I have to use the scissors to cut the pages so I can read what's in between.
Think about that for a second. This book, containing what I can tell you is some truly interesting primary source material from our early history, was published in 1925 and by this evidence has sat around unread from that time until just now, with yours truly being the first human being to actually read what's between its covers, 88 years after publication.
And you wonder why The History Channel has to resort to Pawn Stars and American Pickers (both of which I find entertaining for the same reasons that others here have cited, by the way)?
