A Man Named Albert
The Civil War is probably one of the most important facets of American history taught in schools today, and for very good reason. It was by far the bloodiest and most brutal war Americans have ever been engaged in; brothers killing brothers, almost destroying the entire country from within. Perhaps that speaks to the stubbornness of Southern Americans in general, and their deeply ingrained inability to admit when they are wrong. The Civil War might just have been the darkest period in United States' history, which is why it's so important for our young people to study it. American schoolchildren are taught endlessly about the battles that were fought, the reasons their forefathers went to war, and the important figures who emerged on either side of it. More often than not, however, there are some people who are regularly forgotten. And of the forgotten few, one man just may be the most important of them all.

The Battle of Karansebes, 1788: The Austrian Army Accidentally Fighting Itself in the Chaos of War
Among the most bewildering and farcical episodes in military history, the Battle of Karansebes stands out as a stunning example of miscommunication, panic, and human error spiraling out of control. Fought during the Austro-Turkish War of 1787–1791, the event is infamous not for a valiant clash with the Ottoman enemy, but for a chaotic episode where an Austrian army ended up attacking itself. Taking place on the night of September 17–18, 1788, in what is now modern-day Romania, the so-called battle involved confusion, fear, and an abundance of alcohol - ultimately leading to hundreds of Austrian soldiers dead or wounded by friendly fire, long before the Ottomans even arrived.

Ashes of Pompeii: The Day the Sky Fell
**Ashes of Pompeii: The Day the Sky Fell** **Pompeii, Roman Empire – August 24, 79 AD** The morning sun was already warm as Lucia, the 16-year-old daughter of a wealthy merchant, stepped onto the balcony of her family’s villa in Pompeii. The sky above was a serene blue, and in the distance, the great mountain—Vesuvius—stood quietly, cloaked in a light mist. Lucia could hear the clatter of hooves and the distant calls of market sellers echoing through the city.

The Roux Where it Happened
James held the thick iron pan over the fire with practiced hands. As the butter melted, he mixed in the flour until the grainy texture gave way to a smooth paste. The deep, nutty aroma of the roux suffused the cramped kitchen and transported him back to the Champs-Élysées. James heaved a deep sigh. He never should have left Paris. There he was a free man. It was not an easy life, but at least it was his own.

Her Name was Brigid
No one says her name now. Not in the books, not in the archives, not in the proud lists of pioneers or labor leaders or even mothers who endured. The dust has done its work. The world turned, and Brigid O’Rourke was left behind, like an old coat forgotten by a backdoor.
