On June 28, YaleNews published this story by me: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumnus\u2019 writings offer a window to the Revolutionary War in Connecticut<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, I found the diary of a Yale undergrad from the 18th century, during the Revolutionary War, and a written reminiscence he composed many years later describing the period. A nice, topical story for the otherwise slow news week of July 4th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, Ray Hardman from WNPR found the story and asked if I would be willing to talk about it on the radio. I did! Jules took a video of the radio as it aired, which you can see here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make an additional cameo as \u201cGuy Returning Home from the Store on His Bike.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a link to Ray\u2019s online story that accompanied the on-air piece: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

War On Campus: Papers Reveal Life At Yale During The American Revolution<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I preserve this all here, for posterity! The story was a lot of fun to write and I am very pleased and humbled by its terrific reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re here, you can check out some more of my writing<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
