Everybody deserves a summer break. Even writers! A little time away from the keyboard unclutters the mind and cleanses the editorial palate.
Which is why Holy Cow! History will be on hiatus the month of August. (That, plus I’ll be moving from the east end of Lexington County to a new place over on the west side. And we all know how much fun moving in the depths of summer is.)
But fear not! Holy Cow! History will return after Labor Day. I’ve already got a stack of fun, quirky, and forgotten stories from our past to share with you this fall. They include:
Why did a dad name his famous daughter after a pig?
Do you recall the only American war that had just one casualty?
And which American’s signature is the most highly prized by autograph collectors—and costs a small fortune, if you’re lucky enough to find it? [Hint: it’s not Washington, Lincoln, a Hollywood star, or a sports hero.]
So there’s plenty to look forward to. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer and try to stay cool.
See you in September!
