Woke up this morning to an incredible review of my book by @andrea_wulf in the NYT. Surreal. "Do we really need another book about the Lewis and Clark expedition?" she writes. "After reading 'This Vast Enterprise,' by Craig Fehrman, my answer is an emphatic yes."

An extremely important document:

A new online collection from @IUBArchives is preserving pieces of movie and Hoosier history. 🎥

Now available digitally, the collection includes screenplay drafts, photos and production materials from Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Tesich, best known for the film Breaking Away, which is inspired by Tesich’s experience riding in IU’s Little 500.

See the collection and learn more about the enduring impact of one of Indiana’s most celebrated writers:

So excited for this book!

@CharlesCMann Have you seen The Bear? Many great things about that show, but one is how it captures Chicago's beauty, both the city center and other parts as well.

@NadyaWilliams81 @mereorthodoxy It was so fun to dig into the journals with you. I've always felt my book is an English major book as much as a history major book. Thanks for letting me talk about the texts!

Maggie O’Farrell’s new novel, Land, is her most ambitious to date: sprawling, mystical, and filled with wonder at the vastness of Irish history. I reviewed it for @vulture:

[Andrea Wulf @andrea_wulf]

Amazing review @nytimesbooks “Forster is the vibrant subject of Andrea Wulf’s 'The Traveler,' a lively new book that hums with her characteristic verve … 'The Traveler' thrillingly revives the forgotten life of this “liberal thinker far ahead of his time.” Yeah!

I had the best time going to Bozeman and recording this episode of @MeatEaterTV. Especially enjoyed the chance to go back and forth at length -- that's what podcasts do best, IMO.

my upcoming book about panicking parents, youth sports, schools, safetyism, and technology now has a page and a cover.

The book is a confession/convo about being a crazy sports dad, myself, and how parenting got so intensely privatized.

I know @peterhessler is best known for writing about other countries, but man do I love it when he writes about home: https://t.co/AdmQM6v00a

Wemby is our generations Lafayette. In a time of great need, a French teenager/ young adult came to America and helped lead his new adopted country to victory against tyranny (foul baiting unethical OKC bullshit)

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.

[Craig Fehrman @craigfehrman]

This is a great standalone essay, and both books DiPiero writes about sound practical and smart.

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"We see academics on book tours and imagine that if we too can become valued by other, larger audiences, perhaps we can finally prove our own worth, even if only to ourselves."

@Jon_Finkel Great list -- and this line on riding a bike made me laugh: "you can’t (or shouldn’t) have your phone out."

@NadyaWilliams81 @Repubblica1849 @malcolmguite This is the best -- hope he especially loves the stories of young Lincoln and young Truman as readers!

[Craig Fehrman @craigfehrman]

@RSBradford I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for checking it out.

[Craig Fehrman @craigfehrman]

Caleb Crain wrote beautifully about my book in this week's @NewYorker -- no surprise to anyone who's read his fiction. I loved his tone, a different spin on the expedition than my own. And this was a wonderful riff on historical method:
