Tarleton's Ghost

'A vindictive asperity not easily restrained'. Trolling the American revolution since 1775. Scandalous corporeal ally @philmcraig to be found at @MongersPodcast

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

In which - over two tweets - I interrogate questions of historical shame and 18th Century mansplaining.

Good man! #huzzah

[Phil Craig @philmcraig]

Channeling my alter ego @TareltonsGhost I applied a somewhat sceptical lens to this trailer for the latest dirge from Ken Burns and co. Sorry @PBS https://t.co/Z0iAfnjvFe

@MindVsMyth @jk_rowling Ruling Norms really went off after that second album tho the fifteen minute bass solo in ‘Bathroom Access’ has hardly aged at all.

@philmcraig @royalhistorian Wasn’t a rare experience for me #huzzah

[Phil Craig @philmcraig]

Prompted by the very generous early endorsement from @Marikacobbold below, I'm announcing today that my next book - which I'm still finishing - is now available for pre-order in all the obvious places. #1945TheReckoning https://t.co/CKX3oTGm79

@holland_tom Preach it baby #huzzah

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

@philmcraig @guidltours Huzzah !

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

A great example of the brilliant storytelling that’s gone into @GilesMilton1 new book THE
STALIN AFFAIR - and an extract from our latest podcast!

[Phil Craig @philmcraig]

@TareltonsGhost I should have exorcised him once he attracted the attention of @TheRestHistory twins! AKA My proudest moment on here

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

Like half the wives of Washington’s General Staff! #huzzah

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

He’ll get around to doing me eventually.

[Phil Craig @philmcraig]

The @guidltours app is wonderfully flexible. I’m using it to do a location based bio of Diana, Princess of Wales. Over the next few weeks I’ll be adding more and more talks - but the opening one (based at Park House, Sandringham) is up now and free! Many thanks to @robert_lyman

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

@guidltours Do you accept submissions from beyond the corporeal realm? Or I could communicate via my earthly vessel Mr Craig. You may need what I believe you call ‘trigger warnings’ however for my more fruity anecdotes.

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

@philmcraig @loneloc02 @RobbieMacNiven With sharpened sabre and extra tight jodhpurs, I stand ready! #huzzah

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

Sighs wistfully

@RobbieMacNiven At least ‘twas how they described it to their husbands #huzzah

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

@bdomenech Well I found it disarmingly entertaining, although a reference or two to my horsemanship and tight jodhpurs could have added a certain frisson for listeners of the fairer sex @dcsandbrook @holland_tom #huzzah

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

@dcsandbrook @holland_tom The heart swells to feel such recognition from across the aeons. Tho ‘the tightest jodhpurs and sharpest sabre in the Carolinas’ would also suffice.

[Tarleton's Ghost @TareltonsGhost]

Even a ghost can suffer the sin of pride & it was the cause of no small satisfaction to receive the blessing of what I believe is called a ‘like’ from no less a public figure than @holland_tom, tho I sense supper at my club with his ami @dcsandbrook would be more high spirited !
