@PattyHankins the last was the Diary of Elisbeth Koren 1853-1855. She tells of her passage from Norway to the mid-west. A year after my 2nd great-grandmother. I also use contemporary newspapers and historical weather reports. Archived letters are also helpful. As are hisoric painti gs, drawings and photos. It allows mt to paint a fuller picture.wheatonwood.com/2023/08/08/we-

Another ... Black By Design by The Selecter's Pauline Black. Not just for the 2-Tone fans, this excellent book is a potted social history of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st century told via Pauline's experiences - and all the things wrong in the UK. Not always easy reading but what a strong, talented woman.

Working with the population registers for the town my paternal ancestors lived in.
In 1821 there were 180 houses, 223 households and 1078 inhabitants. Which means that 43 households did not have their own place but shared a house with another household. Also, that there were (on average) 4..8 persons per household or 5.9 per house.

In 1752, John Bond, a doctor in London proposed adopting Polybius' description of a ballista for whaling. He even built a ballista and sent it to the Royal Academy, claiming that it would give Britain an edge over Dutch whalers. He jubilantly wrote that one gun was equal to 100 harpooners, but that these laborers would resist the invention because they had "strong prejudice against all improvements."

August 11, 1968, the top ten music chart in Britain. All these songs are familiar to me (I listened to my parents’ records in my youth) except numbers seven and eight.

I don’t normally do politics on Mastodon, but the Tories painting over the Mickey Mouse mural because it was “too welcoming” to refugee children was one of the most sinister and soulless things I’ve ever seen. It reminded me of my research into the Spanish Civil War. A thread 🧵

📖 Em França, apesar da hostilidade das autoridades e população, os estrangeiros desempenharam um papel importante na defesa das suas condições de vida e na melhoria do seu estatuto.

Os portugueses não foram excepção, como escreve @victorpereira num capítulo do segundo volume da obra "Mémoire des luttes de l’immigration en France".
