18C American Women in War & Democracy: Portrait of 18C American Woman

Searching for WHY human society changes & what those living before us declare in their own words and in their design & images of themselves & of the world around them. Posting on the worldwide internet makes history less intimidating, easily accessible, & freely available for everyone.

Like most historians, my blogs & research are dominated by primary sources, 1st-hand written evidence of history often made at the time of the event by someone who was present. Physical objects, such as art, also can be primary sources.

As a historian, I must rely on archaeologists, using a variety of scientific tools, to find & help explain earlier evidence beyond that obvious on the surface. Science is not truth. Just like history, science is a process in the pursuit of truth.

Focusing mostly on the history & art of gardens & women, I put together several blogs, different in the particulars but similar in the essentials. They are listed in the blogroll below.

Honored to have you here -Welcome!
