#photoadaynov16 #booknerdproblems @RealLifeReading borrowed this- too tired to think tonight! But this is one among so many #booknerdproblems of mine... Finally finished Liberty's Exiles- well researched, fascinating case studies & an engaging read about the Loyalists, their exile/ refugee journeys' , challenges, & impact on the British Empire. Need to sleep💤💤😴
In the United States the history of the American Revolution was written by the victors...Loyalist refugees simply fell outside the bounds of American national narratives.They received scant attention from British historians...reminders of defeat...Loyalists loomed largest... in Canadian history.
Today's goal: finish this book which is fascinating reading as I knew nothing about loyalist "refugees."plant daffodils for a break! #Nonfictionovember
Em wants to read history too. #catsofLitsy #Littenkittens ( I do live in an old house but it does not tilt this much!)
Today's library stack. Realistic this time; only 3 books. #librarystack
Emma pretty much sums the mood in my house today. Lots of reading and 💤💤💤💤........
More required reading for school, but this class is pretty awesome. It's called Historical Losers, and it looks at history through the eyes of the people who DIDN'T win the wars. Studying groups like the Populists and Native Americans, just to name a few. I ❤️ these books....📚📚📚(photo found on FB)
