In particular-@TestKitchen reads #c19am newspaper stories as sincere-like modern NYT-where most of the stories they quote are full ‘o’ snark
.@TestKitchen’s 1876 KY Meat Shower podcast www.americastestkitchen.com/radio/134-the-day-meat-f... is fun but tone-deaf abt what #c19am newspapers were & how they worked
This is awesome MT @jaheppler: @historying & I visualized 14,000 post offices in the #C19am West http://www.cameronblevins.org/gotp/

Just realized that we’re using #c192014 rather than the broader #c19am for this year’s conference-hence my atypical twitter silence
Looks fantastic-can’t wait! MT @MrSidetable: full schedule for 2014 #C19am conference now online @ http://as.vanderbilt.edu/c19/?page_id=63
Love @ellenbooks’ metaphor-@dasmiq’s #viraltexts algorithm as “giant scissors” cutting from #c19am newspapers & pasting into database #nmalh
Quick geographic viz of two #c19am #viraltext poems: MacKay’s Inquiry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwDlyt7jhMs & Whittier’s Huskers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmmYOBka3Bg
If I wasn’t already a fan, this would convince the #c19am scholar RT @morainium: The Red Sox look like Civil War fugitives. #WorldSeries
Amazing spreadsheet of #c19am booksellers compiled by #rbs13 scholar-Would love to map the data but not sure he’s interested in sharing
#C19am ad for Twain’s Connecticut Yankee-“A Keen & Powerful Satire on English Nobility & Royalty…Appeals to All True Americans” #rbs13
Winship: you’d put a nice binding on a <corr>pre-</corr>#c19am book when you decided to save it-you’d add a bespoke leather coffin #rbs13
MT @NEH_ODH: A Q&A w/ @ryancordell on the ODH-funded project "Uncovering Reprinting Networks in #C19am Newspapers": www.neh.gov/divisions/odh/featured-p...
Show & tell as we discuss #c19am illustrations today at #rbs13. Woodcuts, illustrated books, & steel engravings circulating the room...
Winship’s point that we ignore humanness of #C19am industrial tech applies also to tech today-the machines are us-for good & ill #rbs13
Michael Winship reminds our #rbs13 class that we mustn’t ignore the lives of the many “hands” who made “machine-printed” books in #c19am
Fun w/#C19am puffery MT @abbymullen: ed of Memphis Post told his brother he had 250 subscribers but told Rowell's gazetteer 1500 #ViralTexts
