Researching today- from the 1870 census in Ellsworth, KS. The occupants of this “house of ill fame” owned by George Palmer have some colorful occupations. Libby “diddles”, Harriet “does horizontal work”, Ettie “squirms in the dark”, and Lizzie “ogles fools”. 😂 it appears that census enumerator had a sense of humor. Ettie (Nettie) Baldwin came to Hays the next year, and is one of the subjects I‘m researching on early Hays prostitution. #historian
Diving in to some fun research! I spent the afternoon sifting though primary documents at the historical society and I‘m looking forward to these this evening. #research #professorsoflitsy #historian
These are your so called “snowflakes” ladies and gentlemen. These are the people who saved democracy so that you can pull this BS today, and these are the people who will save you from your BS now.

“The Germans were immensely powerful, but as the Chancellor was beginning to discover, so is the will to resist.”

From the Introduction of This Edition
I read a different translation in high school, so I‘m excited to dive into this one. This book is also one of the experiences that made me want to be a historian - a gate keeper (distributor? Mountain top shouter?) of the things that should never be erased from human history. #eliewiesel #night #history #historian #femalehistorians #bannedbook #bannedbooksweek #bannedbooksweek2018 #intellectualfreedom
