Welcome to the blog! This is just where I post writings that don’t fit into other projects, so there’s a lot of random things about research, cemeteries, historical figures I get momentarily obsessed with, and some thoughts on the perils of being an independent historian. There is no posting schedule, so stop by again not so soon and see if there’s anything new.

Better late than dead on time.
