I’ve been rewatching SEINFELD the past few months. Finished it today. Coming this spring: a class on 1990s history told through the show.

This restroom sign in Rocky Mountain National Park tells some stories
From the town of Escanaba
Sailed a schooner one fall day
Its name was Christina Nilsson
And it made the news today
The Nilsson had not cleared weather
It could not find a slip
It sunk with all its cargo
It was pig iron on the ship
Pig iron on the ship

Really looking forward to these readings for my grad colloquium in 20th c rural America!
It was hard to narrow down the list, and I had to cut many great books by friends and colleagues. But I’m pleased with how it turned out, w/ books by @loriflores.bsky.social, @erikloomis.bsky.social, & others.

Great to be back in the archives this week, working on the next project.
Last week I came across notes from grad school.
On 8/18/2011—thirteen years ago, yesterday—I settled on a dissertation topic: the history of US soil & water conservation. The project is officially a teenager.
Seems a fitting time to share page proofs:

What better time than this for my first post?
I’m so excited to share the beautiful cover of my forthcoming book with @uncpress.bsky.social, due out in the Spring 2025 catalog. It’s amazing how the cover makes it all feel real!
