#OnHere I'm about reading, learning, libraries in the collaborative work of scholarship, the vital importance of #VastEarlyAmerica & #EarlyAmericas, my research on politics of family histories and archival remnants/ shaping thereof.

"The Horse America" London, 1779. That's quite a selection of weaponry at the end of George's crop. #VastEarlyAmerica #EarlyAmericas @JCBLibrary https://bit.ly/3IsIbE3
