Oh, not much. Just out here thriving. You?

Thanks! I agree. The design folks at JHUP did an amazing job, especially considering how little I gave them to go on.

I heard this is a pretty good way to get Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina.

This is your semi-regular reminder that the cheapest way to get an academic book into your eager hands/brain is almost always by buying from the publisher with a discount code, not by buying from a (cough) internet retailer. If you’re not at #AHA25 you can still use discount code HAHA25 thru 1/20.
