We are heading back to the Lone Star State for the birthplace of Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President, along the Pedernales River between Stonewall and Johnson City, Texas. A man shaped by his childhood, educational opportunities, and a huge inferiority complex, learn about Lyndon’s youth and political rise, along with what happened to his birthplace!

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my hunt for something relating to this.
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but after browsing through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely pleased I came across it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back regularly!
