What a glorious time to be alive! Another book that caught my attention during the “Faculty Authors’ Celebration” at my home institution last week was A Republic of Scoundrels: The Schemers, Intriguers, and Adventurers Who Created a New American Nation, which was co-edited by historians David Head and Timothy Hemmis. (Professor Head teaches history at my home institution, the University of Central Florida.) Perhaps a new Lin-Manuel Miranda musical is in the works?


Well the premise sounds about right. Have just embarked upon (my library copy of) Laughing at the Gods. I’m a slow reader so, not sure when I will get to “Scoundrels” – Craig
I need to read “Laughing at the Gods”; what a great title too!!
