@harasp82 Congratulations! I can't wait to read it.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@tnflorvil I'm so sorry to hear this, Tiffany, but glad you could be there. Thinking of you and your family.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@DrJanaWeiss Funny, and also I'd love to compare notes! At the SGAS in Milwaukee?

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@sarahbelle721 She safeguards it??

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

As a historian of the US who grew up Quaker and loves oatmeal, I just had to share.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@rlouisemoran Ugh.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@sarahbelle721 Congratulations!

@jazzydomenique Why were immigrants overrepresented in US suicide statistics c. 1880s-1920s?

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@KeriLeighMerrit I thought I knew the Colfax Massacre, but then when I decided to teach it last year, I went back to Leeanna Keith's book and remembered how complicated the context was.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@boring_juniper Need to talk?

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@SMGonzalezWI My kid drew them to my attention because he was confused. He thought the Republicans were the anti-immigration party.

@ambernoelle Do you take clients? I need some of that energy.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@KobysKing I don't know your situation, but I find this a particularly hard time of the academic year. I'm still trying to finish up summer things, my kid is not yet back in school, the fall semester work has started, but the fall semester routine has not.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@HoneckMischa Oh, was this a J Lo post? Lol.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@HoneckMischa If you haven't read it yet, @TabulaRasmussen's book might be valuable. His Scandinavian American Republicans weren't abolitionist, but their land focus is very interesting.

@_jonathansjones I have to obscure names for two sets of records I'm using. I considered using first names and last initials throughout, but I don't think I will. Martin Summers does in City of Magnificent Intentions.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@_jonathansjones I'd be interested in a discussion of whether historians should respect the privacy of people who lived in the past. I'm thinking about whether and how to obscure identities in my book on suicide and suffering.

[Alison Efford @alison_efford]

@_jonathansjones There are some 1910s records (PA and WI) I really wanted to see, but they were completely restricted. I will read the piece!
