Irin Carmon recently wrote a book concerning the struggles of pregnancy and the last entry underlines how universal that is in time and space. Thank you.
Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky: Your history is fascinating and brings everyday life of JQA at the end of the 18th c. to life! I especially love the facsimiles of manuscripts.
You are a lively narrator and I look forward to your work.
You are a very gifted person to take joy in the research, like the true scholar you are!
Thank you for this entry. I enjoy the insights into their lives. A range of emotions! Research question: Do you pull from the original manuscript? If so, that is hard work! Their cursive is not our cursive. I have frustrated myself trying to read 19th century wills of my ancestors.
I enjoy reading about the everyday triumphs and tragedies of historical figures like this. Thank you for the time you take in the research and writing.
So very well timed! Yesterday Quincy dedicated the statue to JQA. A very nice event. Hopefully you will see it very soon. However, please don't come up if there's a driving rain(or snow) storm, like the evening of your brilliant John Adams talk at Quincy's PL!

Yes, this was a good post. I appreciate seeing some of your process, and JQA is one of the more fascinating characters in the early American epoch.

It’s sources like these that remind me why I love doing social history!

That sounds like a lovely event! Definitely need to plan the weather better next time I visit 😉
Enjoyed the post and look forward to your work on jqa. A break from progressive views on current politics is welcome.
