Dear Nonnie Friend,

I first wrote today's post for subscribers of my old mailing list, mostly teachers, mostly in rural Georgia, on February 11, 2021. That was just two months before I unleashed Non-Boring History onto an unprepared world.

The post is about Hamilton, the musical based very loosely on the life of Alexander Hamilton (George Washington's protege/US Constitution enthusiast/bloke in photo above). It’s also my first reflections on what was happening in the US three years ago.

You can, if you prefer, listen to this post, which I’ve read aloud. The link is above, and it’s another perk of being a Nonnie, a paying subscriber.

This post is for paid subscribers
