Historian of migration and citizenship at Ohio University Chillicothe - author of Stranger Citizens: Migrant Influence and National Power in the Early American Republic
Got this right before the 4th - cover of Lumen, Ohio Humanities Journal by @billiterstudio.bsky.social #ohiohistory
But nothing for the specific article itself. I've tried various combinations of specificity #googlescholar
List of food riots in 1776 in the American Revolution -- focus of early riots was high cost of imports, while later riots shifted to urban cities and focused basic commodities. People in towns and cities would trade tea and coffee for groceries. Currency was depreciating as well. #inflation 🗃️
Map of spread of #smallpox in North America, 1775-1782, from page 7 of Fenn, Elizabeth A. 2002. Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82. 1. paperback ed. Hill and Wang.
@aldenlibdigital.bsky.social Was looking for unrelated stuff and came across this 1973 article about a campus visit by Bella Abzug, who was touring in support of the ERA. #womenshistory media.library.ohio.edu/digital/coll...
About to discuss the history of Mexican and Puerto Rican migration in my #ohiohistory class. A good time to share items from the Bracero archive, such as this photo #immigrationhistory 🗃️ Caption: Aaron Castaneda Gamez driving a tractor to a field in Ohio. 1947. braceroarchive.org/items/show/511
Also in the 1970s and 1980s predominantly Latino farmworkers in Ohio and Michigan organized with help from Baldemar Velásquez, pressuring Campbell Soup and farmers for better working conditions. They organized a 600-mile march from Ohio to New Jersey. #ohiohistory #laborhistory #farmworkers #floc

And a 1903 article from the Newark Daily Advocate (Ohio) about the Wright Brothers. This is Wikimedia commons but the image links to this (paywalled) source newspaperarchive.com/newark-advoc... #ohiohistory
The Wright Brothers are well known, but another early Ohio pioneer in flight was Tony Nassr (sometimes spelt Toney Nassr) - here's a photo of his airship in Toledo ohiomemory.org/digital/coll... #arabamericans #aviationhistory #ohiohistory
So I recently talked to my students in class about European medical cannibalism, and was going to show them some articles and information, and this was the autocomplete result #autocomplete #aifail #medicalcannibalism
The Centinel article #witchcraft #panics #skystorians #constitutionalconvention
And this one from the Portland Art Museum portlandartmuseum.us/mwebcgi/mweb...
This series was shortlisted for a Pulitzer Prize: "‘True Stories From an ICU,’ a beautiful, funny and frequently haunting depiction of the fragility of human life, with each frame perfectly paced over a seamless scroll." apps.bostonglobe.com/opinion/grap...

Plus some of the cool math about the floret/seed patterns are in the article (each one is numbered here!)
Also some pretty goth covers too. This one leans towards goth-cute (which I guess is appropriate for #bats in general)
Also loving these old book covers from @publicdomainrev.bsky.social - lots of art nouveau
