I will never forget how beautiful the morning was 25 years ago. The picture perfect sunny late summer day. Blue sky...not a cloud. It almost added insult to injury against the horror and terror we all witnessed that day. Never forget.

Hey @herberthistory.bsky.social you have a doppelganger! Just worked with a researcher from Boise State at my library who made me do a double take thinking it was you! Coincidentally his thesis for his MA is about Native Americans (southern New England & King Philip's War).

Very glad the filmmakers included the experiences of Mary Campbell and other women assulted by soldiers. That's not always included in stories of the revolution. The depositions are hard to read, but necessary to read. #HATM

One of the most interesting things about the #HATM conversations re: the Am Rev doc imo is seeing how people are processing / relating to it through modern media portrayals of the war. So far I’ve clocked mentions of: Hamilton West Wing (Josiah Bartlett/ fictional Jed Bartlett link) 1776 1/
