I'm a big nerd and am becoming obsessed with History Detectives on PBS.   

Has anyone actually seen this series? People who watch the program log onto PBS.org and if you are really lucky someone from the History Detectives team will come and look at your item. I wonder if they would examine anything in my grandmother's attic. I'm sure she's got some cool stuff. In the shows I've seen (I've only recently found the show), they found a flag under which American soldiers marched as French soldiers because African Americans were not allowed to serve in combat during WWI. After much protest, they were finally allowed to but they didn't march under an American flag. We turned both regiments over to the French because they were desperately short of men and were apparently not as racist as we were because they'd always allowed Africans colonized by the French to fight in wars they were involved in.

In another episode, a woman had a coin that was shot by Annie Oakley, the famous woman American gun slinger. Her great uncles played in the band for Bill Cody's Wild West Show where Annie performed and it's speculated that she gave them the coin as a reward for something.

Do you all like this show? I'm becoming obsessed with it. I have my DVR set to record it any time it comes on. What do you learn?
