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. 😂 youtube.com/watch?v=-RHooQ…
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
