Hard tack, the stalwart food of @CWBluejackets and soldiers, which I made for our @NUAmStudies @NorthEnglishes @NorthumbriaHist 'Village Fete' bake/build/draw your research theme. My stern preparation warning meant no chipped teeth (that I know of!).

Nice to have this handsome book arrive in the post today from @routledgebooks! Delighted to have written the chapter on Irish Americans in #CivilWar and #Reconstruction. Kudos to @CianTMcMahon and Kathleen P. Costello Sullivan for conceiving the idea and pulling it all together.

1/ Brilliant service by @Heritologists to mark grave of #NorthShields #CivilWar vet Robt Renoldson at NS Baptist Church and Preston Cemetery. He served in 7th #NewHampshire Inf b4 returning to England Died #OTD 1916. @NUAmStudies own @BrianWard222 unveiling @DeptVetAffairs marker

[Brian Ward @BrianWard222]

Always a pleasure & inspiration to work with @Heritologists. Yet more evidence of NE-US links. Good to see @dgleesonhistory and (in absentia) @irishacw representing @NUAmStudies - plus a reading of ‘Slinger’ a fab poem about Renoldson penned by @notrockyhorror of @NorthEnglishes
