From Utah's own Sara Dant: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

An article from JSTOR Daily about a 19th-century temperance board game. Think roll and move + "the drunkard's path"!!! I'm more of a Euro gamer, but clearly, this is awesome. daily.jstor.org/bring-on-the... #boardgames #saltcon #gencon

Super interesting article about public lands, which IMHO is one of the most important topics in UT history and public life.

President Calvin Coolidge refuses gifts of Thanksgiving Turkeys in 1923. "President and Mrs. Coolidge will buy their own Turkey....Mr. Cooldige does not regard the practice [of giving the gift of a Turkey] as one that should be encouraged." Trenton Evening Times, 11/28/1923.

For #ArmedForcesDay, check out an article from Utah Historical Quarterly 92.4 on the effects of World War II on Southeastern Utah communities, including those who voluntarily enlisted or were drafted. cc: @holly-g.bsky.social scholarlypublishingcollective.org/uip/uhq/arti...

My favorite is a gym class that's fun & gets me thinking about historiography. I realized I could start a biblio for all my favorite formats. Body combat & hip Hop are easy, but I obviously need to do more reading for Zumba & high fit. Nerdy fun is the best. #culturalHistory

President Teddy Roosevelt declines gift of a watch in 1907: “papers accompanying the watch were transmitted to the department of justice to be considered in connection with the investigation that is being made by the dept into the operations of the so-called watch trust.” Pittsburgh Post, 5/5/1907.

www.npr.org/2025/04/24/1... Public history! Dedicated public servants! Personal growth & change! Awesome lady invalids! This episode of Throughline was, unironically, a bit of a patriotism of overload for me--which, of course, I could use right now. #NPR #AmericanHistory

Sigh: Learn about the rotten roots of the modern anti-vaccine movement, and of the misinformed and skewed fears that still fuel it – from the fallout of a mishandled polio vaccine, to mercenary former doctor Andrew Wakefield's fully discredited autism "study". @npr.org: www.npr.org/2025/02/13/1...
