CONSTANCELY HOPING

ABOUT ME

John C portrait_edited.jpg

I'm John Constance of Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2021 I became frustrated with the negative tone and content of social media and decided that the world needed a more positive alternative. I have been blessed with a wonderful life and an interesting career in Washington, DC. I decided that the people, places, and things that I had experienced could be used to brighten your day. So I started this blog.

MY PICK
OF THE MONTH

Lincoln 1.jpg

Ted Widmer has written a very readable history of President-elect Abraham Lincoln's journey from his home in Springfield to Washington DC for his first inauguration in 1861. The account is filled with railway lore, new details of this grueling trip, and an enlightening account of what it meant to the pre-war preparedness of the Union. I had heard accounts of the Baltimore assassination plot, but never in this detail. Lincoln on the Verge, Thirteen Days to Washington; a Simon and Shuster Paperback published in 2020.
