Last December I started a tradition of posting a favorite picture from the year. That one was from the Gettysburg cemetery. This tradition isn't quite Elf on the Shelf (btw, whoever came up with that idea is an absolute genius -- what a marketing coup!). In re Elf: have you seen the internet industry they've got going -- including a recipe for reindeer nuggets. (Not what you might think.) Ok -- back to this post....
I thought that I'd post one of my favorite pictures of this year -- it's of the Petersburg Courthouse. I absolutely adore that building -- and city. One of these years I'm going to have to spend some time working on probate records there, following in the footsteps of Suzanne Lebsock's Free Women of Petersburg. I'm interested in how the incidence of trusts in southern urban settings differs from even super affluent rural areas.
Here's to a 2013 filled with lots of exciting teaching and scholarship!
