Perhaps this is why my dog is so interested in rabbits. They have something in common.

Bio DeCasseres was the daughter of Stephen Mack, Jr., Joseph Smith's 1st cousin. Born on a Ho-Chunk reservation, she was an early Indigenous poet and author. Wish the search for the origins of Joseph Smith's interest in Native Americans included her family.

Beginning to wonder if I should have paid more attention to those daytime TV ads about training for a career as a medical transcriptionist or paralegal.

Am I the only who gets embarrassed when you see your book in a bookstore? I had talk myself into going to a used bookstore today, because I knew they had a copy of my book in stock.
Here’s a link to my book, I guess: www.amazon.com/Imperial-Zio...

My youngest has fallen in love with the musical Six and has a favorite wife of Henry VIII. It's Catherine Parr.
Someone needs to tell her that Anne Boleyn is obviously the best wife.

This early twentieth century drawing I found in the archives at The Huntington Library is perhaps too accurate a depiction of motherhood.

I'm always shocked about how well flowers and leaves survive in the archives. 110 year old oak leaf from the Ina Coolbrith Collection.

Came across a fun satire today in which Ina Coolbrith describes her fellow poets as rare birds.
I wonder what @benjaminepark.bsky.social, @jstuart.bsky.social, and my other #MormonStudies would be like as birds?
Please imagine for me.

My pastor just posted this image of Bozeman, MT, with a note telling the congregation that we have done a spectacular job and to keep it up. Never so glad to be in California.

I tend to decorate my bedroom with things related to what I study. Mary Hallock Foote just joined Emma and Mattie Hughes Cannon. Now I just need an image from Annie Pike Greenwood and Minerva Teichert. What items from your research are in your house?

Weird fact from a graduate student paper: In 1945, the Bishop of the German-speaking Logan 10th Ward enrolled in the Boy Scouts to prove his Americanness. There was no technical age limit. He then earned his Scout Badge.

In 1973, BYU published a bio of Ina Coolbrith, an important early California poet & Joseph Smith's niece. It ends with a strong statement of her faith in God. Spoiler: she flirted w/ theosophy, Buddhism, & agnosticism. Why do we make ppl in the past more faithful than they were? #mormonstudies

There was a nice letter later on in the collection, in which an early female journalist consoles her friend (a poet) about the death of her cat, Moon.

Sometimes your bff has an affair w/ a younger man. Sometimes you do his homework & it gets published.
Then, b/c you were kidding when you said, "this is just btwn us," you put it in an archive
Ina Coolbrith to bff Charles Warren Stoddard, 1883
Love affair became a CA Supreme Court Justice.

Wasn't expecting this. Was there an early 20th C trade among non-Mormons in Mountain Meadows Massacre relics?
