Wrapping up this round of research with a fond farewell (for now) to my favourite archive of all time.

Special thanks to @melissaslibrary.bsky.social for her generosity, resourcefulness, and making every of the many hours spent here a pleasure.

Another week of archival adventures, misadventures, and serendipitous discoveries in the Forrest C. Pogue Special Collections Library at Murray State University, conveniently located in the back of beyond western Kentucky. Worth the journey though!

Successfully navigated the hullabaloo of the days surrounding last weekend (Carrie Underwood concert or something) for a deep dive into the book industry for military history books and memoirs during the interwar period. Back to greener pastures for another round at the Marshall Foundation Library 🫡

Running between Leesburg and DC these past ten days has definitely put the refuge of this place for Marshall into perspective. I too am ready to abandon my responsibilities in the city and stay home to plant tomatoes.

Always a pleasure, Dodona Manor. Until next time.
