Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Gods...I love me some Cicero...

The Library of Congress is an amazing resource. We use it consistently, as it has some of the largest collections of letters, journals, and other papers from the Eastern Shore Families and their friends, acquaintances, and business transactions. And so much more - #voicesoftheeasternshore

I said what I said...

Keep in mind: the NEH’s budget is 0.01% of the entire federal budget. This is not about savings - it is about the destruction of the Humanities and the critical thinking abilities that they teach. 🗃️

Gossip...Spilling the Tea...Escándalo!
As it has been throughout History, so it was in 1803 when Elizabeth wrote her sister, Anne, to tell her all about the scandal involving her sister-in-law, Sarah U. Teackle, before she married Charles N. Bancker. 🗃️

In a letter dated May 1, 1800, Andrew Donaldson Campbell of Ashcraig in Ayrshire, Scotland wrote to Elizabeth Upshur Teackle of Princess Anne, Maryland. This twelve page letter included his expression of grief over the death of George Washington. 🗃️

A fun and poignant thread, but also: I swear there's a kind of neurotype compatibility thing that's key to who can follow which lecturers like this. I had 3 'marmite' lecturers as an undergrad, 1 in Social Psychology and 2 in Medieval Archaeology.

I am disappointed in Spike Lee.

A Director as talented, intelligent, and socially aware as he is should have movies about:

1) The WWI 369th NY Inf Regt - AKA - The Harlem Hellfighters

and

2) The WWII 761st Tank Bn - AKA - The Black Panthers

and what they dealt with AFTER the wars in the US.

Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte wed the younger brother of Napoleon on Dec 24, 1803. N. denied the marriage and had it annulled. She had a son: Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. She was a brilliant socialite and her descendants are Scandanavian Aristocracy. 🗃️

When transcribing the Will of Andrew D. Campbell, I found in one of the Codicils that he had not only revoked the executorship of his nephew, James Campbell Reddie, but had removed him and ALL his heirs and children, should he have any, as well. My question was: WHY?!

100 Years Ago this year, Pres. Madison invited the Marquis de Lafayette, one of the last Great Heroes of the Am. Revolution to do a Grand Tour of the US.
Anne Upshur Eyre's letter describing one of those stops from a woman's view is stunning! 🗃️https://voicesoftheeasternshore.org/item/32136069

The current bio that I am writing is for the Scots Gentleman, Andrew Donaldson Campbell, Esq. Reading his letters to Elizabeth Upshur Teackle is astounding! This is a man who, on a whim, went to Paris to witness "Wellington's Great Victory" and saw the abdication of Napoleon, just because he could.🗃️
