Starting with today's post, on two important lessons about veterans & America that we can draw from Alfred F. Young's wonderful book *The Shoemaker & the Tea Party* & its Revolutionary War veteran subject, George Robert Twelves Hewes!

But commemorating our veterans, & the conflicts in which so many of them served & sacrificed, also opens up so many complex & crucial moments in American history. So this week on the blog (& in a new column I'll share in this thread as well), I'll AmericanStudy veterans from five defining wars. 🗃️

Will add both to next week's thread, thanks!

Have you gotten more #grahichistory this week?

Thanks, Ben! One more podcast offering - I appeared on the Halloween special episode of the @prospectmagazine.co.uk podcast, to talk about Humans: A Monstrous History: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/pro...
