Damn, Vincent Brown for the win with a powerful observation on the Declaration’s meanings. #HATM

Carleton stonewalling George Washington on the return of enslaved people are some of my favorite letters from the end of the war. Harry Washington evacuates to Nova Scotia then on to Sierra Leon, where he later uses the language of the American Revolution against the British. #HATM

Since we're coming up on the Redoubt 10 mention -- one of my favorite moments in the Battle of Yorktown! Took these photos last November. Looking forward to a return trip next week! #HATM

Highly recommend Kathleen DuVal’s second book, Independence Lost. A keep book about the war in the Gulf South #HATM

What often gets lost in the story of Arnold’s betrayal is his anger about allying with the French. He is a Protestant who now is asked to become friends with their former Catholic French enemies. #HATM

I was blessed to have Peter Wood for colonial American history at Duke (don't tell @herberthistory.bsky.social ). He did not assign us his book on South Carolina, but I wish he had. #hatm 1/2 www.amazon.com/Black-Majori...

Woohoo got home earlier than expected from the Dead Sea Scrolls special members event at the Museum of the Bible, so I'm tuning into the last ep of the Ken Burns/PBS AmRev episode!!! Let's GOOO!! #HATM

Watching the final ep of the Ken Burns American Revolution doc this morning since I'll miss the #HATM livestream tonight-- and we finally got my Tarleton content! For those interested, this is the project I started in 2022 (and will eventually finish lol) americauntold76.weebly.com/home/bloody-...

Hey history peeps! FYI the Ken Burns/PBS American Revolution documentary companion book is now 50% off at Barnes and Noble (original price was 80 bucks...yeesh) for those interested #HATM #twitterstorians #AmRev #PBS www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-americ...

Calling all history peeps--- #enslavedpersonshistory #twitterstorians

Tuning in way late to ep 4 of the American Rev Ken Burns doc after hosting The Friends of Mount Vernon book club -- but I did get to watch this ep earlier!! Reading through everyone's reactions. I see all the Ben Franklin content so @kelsapellettiere.com 's ears must be ringing #HATM

Join us (virtually) for our next Friends of Mount Vernon Book Club event on December 10th!! We'll be reading about myths and legends during the founding era, separating fact from fiction. Message me for how to join our group!

#OTD 5 years ago, I began working on a historical novella about James Armistead Lafayette. It's remained my best seller. My next project is an essay collection of African American stories during the AmRev period (concept art below). (All published works are available at the link in my bio!) #HATM

Hey #HATM friends! I won't be able to join for the livestream tonight, but I'll try and tune in tomorrow night after I host the Mount Vernon Book Club 😀 For those interested, this is the book we'll be chatting about! 10/10.

So what Ken Burns is saying is that the Declaration of Independence was and is still important. Who knew? #hatm

Shameless self-plug for this episode about William Lee and the American Revolution: www.georgewashingtonpodcast.com/show/intertw... #HATM

Watching episode 2 of the #KenBurns #PBS American Revolution documentary when you're part of the Mount Vernon fam be like: #HATM

Photos from my return trip to Nassau a few weeks ago! Got to get a new pic with Woodes Rogers, and get myself all inspired to write the rest of his novel! So much fun getting to tour the pirate museum again, hop on Blackbeard's ship, and relax on white sand beaches. Pirate capital of the world!

Photos from our trip to #HarpersFerry earlier last week. It was super cold, but we had a great time getting to see John Brown's fort and exploring the gorgeous scenery! @hfpa.bsky.social #WestVirginia #WV

I usually never do New Year's resolutions, but I do have one for 2025: to get back to writing. Stop over-filling my to-do lists and social obligations and get back to what I love most. I have 2 novels I want to get the rough drafts done in 2025, with possibly publishing one of them. Motivated.
