I was asked the other day how I acquired such a love of history and my answer before I even thought about it was that I grew up on a CW battle field. Really it was the skirmish area where the the Union troops started to attack towards Fort Morgan from the land while the USN attacked from the sea.
I grew up with history all around me and took it for granite as a child. There were old pirate tales -WW2 German Subs sited off the coast and talk of how German scouting parties had been seen on the beach during the war.One first hand account was told to me by my neighbor who was a teenager during the war.
All the tales to make for a grand childhood and instill a love for history. Wish I could go back...
So, how many people developed a love of treasure hunting because of where they grew up?
Maybe it is was reading treasure island or seeing Mel Fisher on Johnny Carson with that giant gold chain around his neck.
So whats your story?
