A Random Collection of History Links

By Holly Tucker (Editor, W&M)

I’m always tweeting or retweeting links about history and other quirky stories.  What would you expect, my Twitter handle is @history_geek.

Here are a few of the best from this past week.  Ok, the one about showering is not history related…but come on, tell the truth, how many of you writers work all day long in your pajamas?  [Me?  Looks around sheepishly, raises hand.]
