Working hard to keep up with the blog after this week of travails…
A small collection of websites I have located during this month, which may be of interest to those who skim this small blog
The Gentlemans Page
A well-done blog on the many of the manners and expected behaviors of a gentleman of the era. Through, it has a good number of topics it touches upon, such as: Deportment, how to act in the presence of ladies, Greetings, a review of suits and coats, and many more items that any Victorian / Steampunk gentleman should know! (It even has a small excerpt from Mark Twains unfinished book of etiquette listing in which order to save individuals from a boarding house fire!)

Victorian LondonPart of the “Ward Family Tree” genelogical website, it has good insight into differing aspects of London in Victorian time (hence the name). http://www.ourwardfamily.com/victorian_london.htm
WW1: Experience of an English SoldierThe transcripts of an English soldier involved in the Great War the letters are updated literally as of 100 years ago, and this award-winning blog has been featured by numerous entities, such as the CBC, ABC, and ARD (German Television). A fantastic slice of reality almost a step back into time!
