President Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865. Two weeks later from Liverpool, Consul Thomas Dudley wrote the State Department of his efforts to track down fugitive John Wilkes Booth. He was not yet informed that Booth had been located and killed three days before in Port…
OTD in 1891, American Minister to Haiti Frederick Douglas (not a consul, but c’mon: Frederick Douglas!) projected that despite speculation, there was “no immediate danger to the stability of President Hyppolite’s Government.” This proved correct. Hyppolite remained as President…
135 years ago today the US Consul to the Gilbert Isles needed only two sentences to inform the State Department that His Majesty King Nabatokia had died and that his brother, Tebrueimoa, had ascended to the throne. Such concise reporting was typical in the 19th century, when…
141 years ago today the US consul to Serbia, posted to Athens, informed the State Dept that Belgrade would not send a representative to the International Meridian Conference. Conference organizers in Washington hoped to standardized global time zones while simultaneously…
135 years ago today the U.S. consul in Moncton, Canada, wrote to the State Department begging to be “allowed to purchase for the use of this office one stove”. Washington approved the request nine months later, just before the start of another New Brunswick winter.
144 years ago today, the newly appointed Vice Consul to Turin wrote to Sec. State Seward that he was Swiss and not a U.S. citizen. It was not uncommon for foreigners during this period to staff American consulates, including as officers and agents.
128 years ago today a US consul noted the receipt of an encrypted cable announcing the imminent arrival of the USS Maine in Cuba. Two weeks later the Maine exploded, killing 268 Americans and setting the stage for the Spanish-American War.
160 years ago today, a US consul related the failure of an ill-conceived attempt to settle American former slaves in Haiti, blaming corruption there and at home. His despatch includes a disturbing postscript about the would-be colonists: “The people are dying like rotten sheep.”

I've never posted any of the great Amazon reviews I've received for my novel about Nathanael Greene "The Line of Splendor" but this one is worth a share. I accomplished my goal of writing a biographical novel about Greene—that showed he was a man and not just a major general.
This morning, at @GrantsTombNPS, I was honored to be designated to represent the Grant family in placing a wreath honoring the 18th president on the 202nd anniversary of his birth.

@NickPietrowicz @SkyNews I think this is a good example of why America is different, and not necessarily better.
'How many Frenchmen did you kill?' The terse exchanges between Churchill and Sir Arthur Tedder, as the number of French civilians killed by Allied bombing approaches the 'acceptable' limits of 10,000 in May-July 1944.
