That being said, I absolutely hate that show. And it doesn't help that it's on ALL THE TIME!. I can hardly watch the History channels or AHC because one of three things is always on no matter what I switch to. It's either American Pickers, Ancient Aliens, or something about WWII and/or Nazi's. With amount of history that there is, I can't believe how little they cover. Drives me crazy.
See, I love history, hate those channels for the most part, but I like that show. I guess it's because I am one of those that loves going to antique shops, auctions, and just generally looking for old stuff.
One of my favorite possessions is a little book I picked up that is "Soldier's French" from WWI. It has the name of the person that carried it as well as their rank and tour dates on the inside. Little things like that are the treasures I look for, the stories of the people.
