Kent Navalesi ☕️This article draft has gotten so unwieldy that I need to start a new document to put everything in order. Using this opportunity to try to switch to #LibreOffice in my research. 
Even though I've had it at the top of my profile for the past two [bleeping] years, I've just now sent off the first post-dissertation draft of "The Prose Lives of Venantius Fortunatus" to Amsterdam University Press.

In 1846 and 1847, Thomas Lowe led out the York Factory Express, and his journals play an important role in my book, The York Factory Express: Fort Vancouver to Hudson Bay, 1826-1849.

When I wrote the book, I did not fully understand where this particular journey came from -- the 1835 York Factory Express journal written by James Douglas has an interesting backstory. https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/connecting-stories/
