My latest piece for Minnesota History is now available online. It's about the 1865-1866 diary of Thomas Cahill, the son of Irish immigrants from Shieldsville, Minnesota. storage.googleapis.com/mnhs-org-sup... #MinnesotaHistory
The first page of an article titled "The Past Has Been a Blank: The dDiary of Thomas Cahill," by Rob Hardy. Two columns of text. at the top of the right column, a photograph of a gray stone grave marker topped with a cross. More headstones stand in the distance. The grass in green and the trees in the background are bare.
