@LawrenceCelani @DavidHeadPhd @AmericanYawp I haven’t actually used it to teach yet, but I needed to develop a syllabus for a Global from 1500 survey and came across this: https://t.co/JHUR8KSMiI

@ccjones13 The only questions I add to these are 1) Was there a Revolution at all? (Ties together your first and last questions) and 2) Where does their knowledge about the Revolution come from? (I’m a public historian and can’t help it)

[History at Mizzou @HistoryatMizzou]

It is with both excitement and sadness that we announce the last History Brown Bag at Read Hall. Join us next Tuesday for a talk by Dr. Erin Holmes (@LadyStaircase), who will present her research on plantation landscapes in the 18th-century British Atlantic world. @MUDemocracy

@mikedoesmuseums 💖💖💖 Y’all produced an amazing exhibition, even in extraordinary circumstances and I am profoundly bummed I never saw it in person (but you better believe I spent time in the virtual and the catalog). One question, though: is there a t-shirt and can I get one? 😘

[Erin Marie Holmes @LadyStaircase]

@woodyholtonusc @MUDemocracy I remember no rabbit poop! Just drinking lemonade and our first round of professional “would you rather?” Oh, and how small B & H were then! I didn’t forget you offered, I just expected to need a little time to get through all 779 pages before I saw you 😆

[Erin Marie Holmes @LadyStaircase]

IT’S HERE! When I first met @woodyholtonusc, he was working on this book, so it’s exciting to have it in my hands. W inspired me to be a better historian long before (&since) he became my advisor & I can’t wait to dig in & discuss it w/ him when he visits @MUDemocracy Nov 11-12!

@comebackcities It’s pulpy, but Timeline by Michael Crichton comes to mind (the book was so much better than the movie and includes some musings on the emergence of chimnies that made this architectural historian very happy).

@susan_ramonat @kylebroberts @AmPhilSociety (He’s in Part 2 in the Geology section—he was one of the favorites of the the lead curator for that exhibition, Amy Ellison)

[Erin Marie Holmes @LadyStaircase]

@susan_ramonat @kylebroberts @AmPhilSociety J. P. Lesley is great! We ended Mapping a Nation in 1816, but Lesley’s work was featured in the 2018 exhibition “In Franklin’s Footsteps”—you can still see the material we included in the online exhibition: https://t.co/Itlgu0g4de

There are only a few more weeks to visit Mapping a Nation: Shaping the Early American Republic. In this two part blog series, lead curator Erin Holmes (@LadyStaircase) wrote about her mission to understand the ins and outs of 18th century surveying. https://t.co/027Llu7Y1Z

A great #VastEarlyAmerica edition of the Missouri Regional Seminar (MRSEAH) at @Dresselspub, with a quite magisterial comment from Alex Dubé of @WUSTL. Let an @MUDemocracy historian know if you would like to share your work at a future meeting. @AZReichardt @LadyStaircase

@DouglasBradburn In case you need a new profile picture.

Thank you @GWBooks for finding a way to mention the podcast Janine Boldt and I did with y’all about “Mapping a Nation” in the same sentence as the new Star Wars movie. Maps, Star Wars, and Mount Vernon in one tweet! 😂 *hums “These are a few of my favorite things”*

[The George Washington Presidential Library @GWBooks]
