Hi everyone- I’ll be going quiet on here as I can no longer see any of the content I’d like to (the stuff from the people I actually follow!) I’m giving the other place a try for a while: bsky.app/profile/akimlinger.… Maybe I’ll see you there 🫡

The Great War Group is saddened to learn of the death of Tim Cook. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. Our field is poorer for the loss of both his scholarship and his generosity 🇨🇦 🕯️

2 weeks until the GWG hits Leicester! So…I should probably work on my presentation 😳 Check out the latest SP for a preview, then join my seminar if you like canal maps, diplomacy, or want to hear me attempt to redeem the reputation of one of America’s least favorite presidents

France - Argonne - Chevières. Reburial of WWI Ace Capt. H. Coolidge. Coolidge was shot down and crashed in Chevières where he was buried. His grave got threatened to be washed away by the Aisne and so the Chevières citizens provided for a new last resting place.

Happy Birthday to the one and only “Black Jack” Pershing! Born #OTD in 1860 in Laclede, MO. Today the WWI memorial in Washington, DC will be complete with the unveiling of ‘A Soldier’s Journey.’ A fitting tribute to the men he led. stripes.com/history/2024-09-…

I made it! The move to Ottawa is complete. It was a gorgeous drive through Wisconsin, Michigan and northern Ontario to get here. Most important - Canada let me in 🇨🇦 Excited to start my M.A. at @uOttawa in a week and a half but first there is a lot of unpacking & exploring to do

My Dearest Followers: Many of you have asked why do I love #Mississippi, despite of its unfortunate history and reputation. As I previously shared, my passion of the Civil War commenced in #Vicksburg, not in other visited CW battles. #Grant Presidential Library and Museum is in MS. The final reason is MS #CivilRights Museum in #Jackson. As I have shared, there is no other Civil Rights Museum in the South and Deep South like Mississippi’s. It is raw and doesn’t deviate from or ignore the evils, horrors, racism, segregation, lynching, and violent crimes committed in MS. It takes accountability and is in your face museum. This will be a long thread as I will be sharing a series of photos with you. 🧵🧵🧵🧵
