I'm a huge fan of Claudio Saunt's project on land claims and treaties and cessions that is so revelatory in its scope-- pic 1 is 1776, pic 2 is 1876. Blue is Indian homelands, gray is unceded territory, red is reservations. usg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappv...

This is a fun read. Have to admit I loved the Swamp Fox (but I wasn't allowed to watch much TV except Disney back in the '70s!). (Muppet show + Disney or the Nature of Things was the highlight of my week).

#JamesBarryDiary 26/1/1876 26/1/1876 Cold last night and cold all this day too, but it was a blink of sun in the morning. Some snow falling in the afternoon – round snow. Calm though. Cunningham attending mill and kiln and myself in the bookbinding shop. I am middling.
