My beloved alma mater, @wellscollege, announced its closure this morning. I am gutted. I had to force myself to stop crying so I could get ready for work without looking a mess. That strange, tiny women's college, its faculty and its students, were so profoundly impactful for me.
Grant at West Point. Somehow he's grown a bit.
Antietam guide Scott Kenepp led a fascinating tour on battlefield photography for Antietam’s volunteer ambassadors. Here we stop at the site of Alexander Gardner’s famous photo of Confederate dead along the Hagerstown Road.
Happy birthday to Ulysses S. Grant, Mary Wollstonecraft, and me!
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.
On the one hand, it was mean of me to assign a 700-page book the last week of my grad class. On the other hand:
OTD in 1865, John Wilkes Booth was shot and killed by Boston Corbett of the 16th NY cavalry at Garrett’s Farm in Caroline County, Virginia. My colorization of Corbett.
On April 26, 1865 Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth was shot and mortally wounded by the soon-to-be famous Boston Corbett of the 16th New York Cavalry.
“Emancipation Celebration to be held at Old City Hall on New Years Evening… a motion was carried that this Post attend in a body in full uniform with flag and drum…” -Robert G. Shaw Grand Army Post No. 206, Pittsburgh, 1898
Oh look @EmoryUniversity is in the international press. The entire world is now watching. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Friends, @rebfulton's important new book *The Abortionist of Howard Street* will be out in a just a few weeks from @CornellPress and we're looking for a reviewer for @nursingclio? Who wants a review copy & to share their thoughts in a review?? DM or email me!
Fascinating that he not just not changed his view but tried to make up fir what he had done
I don’t know if Sam Grant was ever ashamed of his General Order Number 11 - but he should have been.
Unlike neo-CS cosplayers, real [Civil War, as it were] historians try to understand the big picture, especially concerning the flaws and errors of heroes of the national mythos. We don’t hide or overlook them, but may even lean in if it helps to add relief to a protagonist’s bio.
@TheCivilWarDoc1 @KeriLeighMerrit Never knew any of this - what a fascinating thread! Thanks so much.
Thread. Definitely Grant's worst moment during the war, and one he later regretted. The book referenced in the thread below is one I highly recommend on the subject.
