Incredible news! The Delaware Historical Society just accepted "Delaware at Christmas" into their permanent collection—one week after publication! 📚 Being recognized by Delaware's premier historical institution (est. 1864) as "informative and visually powerful" feels amazing!

Maryland once refused to admit Delaware existed—claiming the lower three counties as its own. For years, rival sheriffs tried to arrest each other. Colonial drama at its pettiest. 😂.

Working on a new Civil War book and just discovered "cross-writing" - where 19th-century soldiers wrote vertically OVER their horizontal text to save paper! 🤯 As Lewis Carroll said: "Cross writing makes me cross." Thank God for AI transcription tools! #CivilWar
