Happy (belated) Birthday to Julia Ward Howe! If she lived, she’d be 206.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Passion Flowers, Hermaphrodite, Mother’s Day, plys her kids won the first Pulitzer for biography!
This was her gravestone at Mt. Auburn last week, well honored and loved throughout the year.

One of the best sessions of the American Literature Association conference was @alicedegalzain.bsky.social who reframed the bio of Margaret Fuller from the POV of Caroline Healey Dall, an acolyte who respected & loved her work, rather than the mainstream narrative from her more famous biographers.

For #ALA2025, the third day was one of the best. Here is a panel focused on the genealogy and generosity of Concord teachers and their students. Pictured are the dream team of researchers & biographers who are eager to encourage the next generations of Transcendental researchers!! 💖💖💖

Concord, MA throws an annual birthday party for one of its most historic citizens. Ellen Garrison was born this week in 1823, taught formerly enslaved people how to read and enforced the Civil Rights Act of 1866 by bringing a case to court. The town is extremely proud of her!

Harriet Tubman has been given the title of Brigadier General. Never too late for recognition (although it would have been nice to have done it earlier)

Concord, MA rectified a long standing omission & finally added the name of George Washington Dugan to the Civil War Monument. As an African American, he served as a member of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment and was killed in an especially bloody battle.
