Jessica LucciPRINT PUBLICATION! “Rivets and Revolution” is now published in paperback! I am thrilled to share my passionate, fast-paced, time-twisted steampunk version of the days leading up to the American Revolution! https://a.co/d/0HdIAMO #rivetsandrevolution #massachusetts250 #mass250 #revolution250 #RevolutionaryWar #steampunk #MA250 #Minutemen #althistory #lgbtq #lgbtqcharacters
@kcoyle Oh, that's a great idea--I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did that when it first came out, but I don't know specifically. I'm going to be showing The Farmer Refuted in my #Revolution250 exhibition next year.
Removed from #Wikipedia: Zippora Atkins monument photo.
Sarah Bradlee Fulton marker.
Enslaved people burials in #MedfordMA
Middle Passage marker on the Boston Waterfront.
What a weird coincidence. #Boston #Revolution250 #BlackHistory
First review for RIVETS AND REVOLUTION on Amazon! And it has TWO 5 star ratings! https://a.co/d/7iGZrou #rivetsandrevolution #ma250 #mass250 #massachusetts250 #revolution250 #revolutionarywar
Did you know: on the night of April 22, 1778, American naval commander John Paul Jones led a daring but ultimately not hugely productive raid on the British port of Whitehaven on the northwest coast of England. This rare special issue of the local newspaper reports on the attack the next day. #revolution250
Today I'm pulling some big maps as candidates for my #revolution250 exhibition next year. (For scale, the call slips are half of a standard sheet of paper.)
Pulling more things for my #Revolution250 exhibition—these are broadsides reporting the Boston Massacre and the Battles of Lexington and Concord, both using black coffins to represent the death toll.
Todd ElsenConcord Hymn, Ralph Waldo Emerson
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee. #revolution250
