The Memory Palace

View all Uncategorized entries >>
I’ll be doing a new, monthly series for Slate.com of Civil War stories. Same memory palace flavor (or flava, depending). Each will roughly correspond to an event that took place a hundred fifty years ago to the month. That’s the plan anyway. You can read about it the team-up (and listen to the first episode here). If you are a Civil War buff (which I am not, though this project is proving really fun), send me your suggestions for obscure and unique and otherwise delightful stories at nate@thememorypalace.us or through twitter or the facebook page.
This and future Civil War Stories (their title, super catchy) episode will appear as a standard memory palace episode through standard memory palace channels two weeks after the Slate release, which sounds more complicated than it is. In the meantime, there’ll be other memory palace episodes on other topics sprinkled in. Including a foray or two into personal history. So, update.

Not a Civil War nerd either, but first one was appropriately downbeat, but quality, for the topic. What’s next?
This is great stuff. Every episode sort of reminds me of the time that I asked a friend, who I knew quite well by this time, to “tell me the most-next-interesting thing that I don’t know about you.” I’m certainly no history expert, but how can a story this good not have come across my path before? Over and over again. Keep it up, Nate.
