Back home from an awesome #2024SHA (and #2024WHA) . It was great seeing so many friends, hearing from amazing scholars, and attending @SoCWHistorians and @SAWH1970 events.
See you in St. Pete Beach if not sooner
Yesterday, my @CSUHistoryGP Georgia Hist class took a tour of @Port_Columbus courtesy of an Experiential Learning Grant. They learned about naval history, Civil War industrialization, the war's impact on Columbus, & material culture. They saw some artifacts & the archives.

#hurricanehelene shifted enough to the East that we fared better than anticipated. We got some rain and 1 tiny tree knocked over but overall, we are in good shape.
No School today for anyone so just chilling with my boys.
Hoping that everyone in the path stays safe and dry!
