In the summer of 1876, warriors from the Arapaho, Northern Cheyenne, and Lakota Sioux struck a decisive victory over the U.S. military. Their victory would ultimately lead to their defeat. Tune in this week as I dive into the Battle of Little Bighorn.

116 years ago a bunch of working class women changed the world because they got together and fought for their rights. Their fight is still our fight.

Happy Publication day @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social 👏🏻
A friend sent me a picture of my book.
It's tangible and exists, and I am so fucking proud of myself.
Today is officially publication day, and it's hard to wrap my mind around it. I know many of you have written many books, but I never thought I could. 1/3

I enjoyed a local production of the play Sally & Tom which explores the relationship between third president Thomas Jefferson & the enslaved Sally Hemings. It was an engrossing and thoughtful play & one I highly recommend watching should it come to your area.
What’s your favorite historic play?
