This looks excellent. I have an idea for a book (once I’m done writing about cows, and wolves) about a river in Nebraska. This seems like a good book to add to my growing bibliography.

Drafting the Past is back, and with a truly fantastic episode! I felt so fortunate to talk with Ruby Lal about her newest book(s), her transition to narrative history writing, and how she brings stories from hundreds of years ago so beautifully to life. Listen: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis...
