Good post and quite on an interesting historical figure. It's telling that van der Donck seems to remain somewhat obscure. Perhaps there is a Dutch bias at work??
I Googled "Laurascudder" and found a lot on the Laura Scudder potato chip maker. Wo...
In reviewing the various posts, I have noticed a couple of trends. Some articles are like yours- the posts start small and seemingly insignificant. From there, they build momentum to become higher profile pieces. Other articles appear in a initial...
Interesting how this article showed up in original form with a relative high level of quality. This seems to be one pathway for WP articles, particularly articles that might not have a large readerships or a significant number of people capable of...
Very interesting review. I am inserting the image of Luther you mentioned above. It certainly makes for an interesting contrast. I suspect our modern day view of Luther is very much wrapped up in one's personal religious experience. The reading of...
Great - I really like tone of your post. It has that edge of your seat feel to it, while also encouraging us to engage French history and the rise of Napoleon. The grand sweep of history across the bottom of the page with the inscriptions of Hanni...
Very nicely done. I particularly like your venture into French political history and the depiction of the noble émigré captain. The positioning of this painting as a metaphor for the larger upheaval that shaped France in the early 19th century is ...
I like the way you captured the excitement of the Purdue election with the recording on her election night, hoarse voice and all. Perhaps a bit more layering would be interesting. The sequencing across the three vocal tracks is good, but the backg...
This is a very interesting article and soundcast. I have always been impressed with the Governor mansion. The style is haunting, and for my somewhat ironic. The irony works for me on a number of levels. First, there is the physical irony of this m...

Poe is brutal!
As many others probably often have done, I sometimes find myself walking up on Poe Hall trying to find some redeeming aesthetic value in the building.
Worry no more, I have found an artistic refuge for Poe in something know as brutalist architecture. Yes, the design of Poe was a… Continue

Online history overload?
The more time I spend online engaging historical resources, the more convinced I become that the shear volume of what's available has outstripped my (our) abilities to comprehend or even discuss digital history as body of content. Just take the collection online at HeritageQuest Online (http://www.heritagequestonline.com) from ProQuest. The site includes access to U.S. Census records, Freedman's Bureau records, Revolutionary War records, over 22,000 books on local and genealogical history, and P… Continue
