Mardi Gras is huge here along the Gulf Coast region due to our French Catholic heritage. It was Mobile and not New Orleans where Mardi Gras began. And the tradition eventually gravitated west. As for me, I'm not a Catholic and do not celebrate the holiday. But my sweet tooth heartily embraces king cakes, and I greatly appreciate the two days off from school.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of women disguised themselves as men and served in the Civil War. I present research, both previously published along with new discoveries, to document the lives and trials of these extraordinary women.
