😆 you saw me in Chicago—been like that for about 2 weeks already!

Watching y’all finish this part on here is giving me a little more strength for my final draft finish line (Dec 15). Excited for your book, @johngmarks.com! cc @unlawfulentries.bsky.social

This is a super fun, paper, Josh. I love the continuation of some of the 19th c. dynamics.

So glad you enjoyed it, Adam!

FWIW, I use Slaughter-House b/c it is the name of the company & makes for clarity from the circuit case (Live-Stock Dealers & Butchers v. Crescent City Live-Stock Landing & Slaughter-House, 15 F. Cas. 649 (C.C.D. La. 1870) (No. 8,408)). But I agree w/ folks saying consistency is what's important.

It's a mutual appreciation society, as you know! 😀 (Just finished a draft of my acknowledgements recently so you'll get a profuse thank you right back 5-6ish months later.)

One always gets the sense that he actually hates baseball.

Who gets to be Salmon Chase? I've always wanted to see Tommy Lee Jones properly cast as Andrew Johnson, whom he actually resembled!

The Lamar confirmation battle is featured in the opening few pages of the last chapter of my book! Alas, this accusation does not make it there, but this, too, is quite the exciting moment.

100% Field & Chase alone make the second half really fun. There's an episode (that sadly did not make it into my book) in which someone mails Field a bomb in early 1866

Thank you! Should be out next fall.

Gautham! This is so great! So happy to see you get the recognition for all your *amazing* work! Congrats 🎉

Fun to see you--if briefly!

Excited to read this!!

I'm flying for both ASLH and the event the next week, Anna. Which one do you think I'll make it to?! Neither set of flights are canceled yet, but I might put my money on both...

So excited, Anna! Can’t wait to read it. Excited to see you & celebrate in a couple of weeks (assuming flying is a thing then)!
