We are really excited to be bringing out _Shaping Jacobitism_ at the end of August. The contributions are multidisciplinary and all fascinating -- and the cover alone is worth waiting for!

Proofs are in for my chapter in Leith Davis and Kevin James's forthcoming volume from @edinburghup.bsky.social, _Shaping Jacobitism, 1688 to the Present: Memory, Culture, Networks_. This is a great collection and we're excited to see it out in the wild! edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-shaping...

It’s already a new year, but I thought I’d list my favorite history books from last year. They’re shared in no particular order—I couldn’t fathom ranking them—and I’m sure there’s a lot of great books I haven’t read yet. But anyway, here are my Top 15 books in American history published in 2015.

I’ve been roasting my own coffee and I need some good Jacobite themed names for a label or roasts. My wife suggested The Beany Prince.
