I was in New York City on September 11, 2001, and I remember the moment of Kennedy’s assassination from my childhood. As a historian of the Civil War era, and as someone who lived through those two modern-day transformative events, I wanted to know not only what Mourning Lincoln happened in 1865 when people heard the news of Lincoln’s Martha Hodes death but also what those responses meant. Did anything surprise you during your research? How did individual Americans respond to the Bruce Dorsey Bruce Almost everything.

  • Steampunkopedia
    For M. & K. "Steampunkopedia Analogue Collection MMIII-MMX" PDF edition, July 2010 compiled by Krzysztof Janicz (Piechur) originally published on Retrostacja/Steampunkopedia 2003-2010 www.steampunk.republika.pl Cover: "Great Steampunk Debate 2010" mash-up by Piechur, idea by Waterbug Suggested format for printing: A5 booklet About Steampunkopedia STEAMPUNKOPEDIA: GUIDE TO A COOL 19th CENTURY Steampunkopedia (est. December 2006) was an international section of Polish steampunk website Retrostacja , combining three major projects: • Steampunk Chronology - a list of nearly 3,000 works set in the chronological order (online since August 2003), • Steampunk Links - a database of over 1,000 links in 12 categories (online since August 2005), • Steampunk TV - a collection of more than 200 music videos, short films, trailers and contemporary silent films (online since November 2006). Steampunk Chronology, the core element of Steampunkopedia, was probably the first attempt to reconstruct a history and an evolution of the genre. My goal was to assemble everything that came within contemporary definition of steampunk (or within many coexisting definitions - see p.72): from modern sf, fantasy & horror set in the 19th century and retrofuturistic alternate history, to mad crossovers, pastiches and mash-ups. Being a work in permanent progress, the list has quickly multipled its initial number of 500 titles, reaching a critical mass after 100 bi-weekly update reports in July 2007. At that time Dieselpunk came into prominence, which gave a chance to split the Chronology into two separate files (see p.57). After another 100 reports (weekly, due to the peaking popularity of the genre – see p.56) the project was cancelled and removed in May 2010.
