This is an Annette Tells Tales post at Non-Boring History, an exclusive for paying subscribers (because I can’t afford to write without them). Here, this historian translates fascinating (but hard to read) scholarship into chatty and even funny posts, to help you discover academic history, and why it matters.

If you’re not familiar with Non-Boring History, and why it merits your paying support, the Educational Outreach Gnome at Non-Boring House strongly suggests you read this:

Dear Nonnie Friend,

Even if chiropractic doesn’t float your boat (or you don’t even know what it is), stay with me here. The wild history of chiropractic reveals a lot about the history of American culture, about American thought among ordinary people (i.e. not professors). And that affects everyone.
