Hey #vastearlyamerica folks, potentially random question. Are Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen Jr.'s papers in Albany? I've read some of his sermons from the start of the Seven Year's War and would love to see what else is out there on him...

@sneerbear Paul Cobb's The Race for Paradise, Jay Rubenstein's Armies of Heaven, Peter Frankopan's The Call from the East would be good starting points for three different approaches!

@shakespeareprof I love that book, tbh. I think good historical fiction, especially that's clear it's fiction, is vital for making people interested. Sharon Kay Penman's The Sunne in Splendour is my favorite of that type, still love it.

@praxishabitus Oooo ok @kelly_j_baker 's Gospel According to the Klan is my favorite book of American history and I suggest it to everyone in every context because it matters deeply. Sarah E. Baires' Land of Water, City of the Dead, on Cahokia, is brilliant and discusses religion & archaeology
