The Junto

History aficionados, instructors, and the generally curious will want to check out The Junto, a blog and podcast dedicated to early American History. Authored by graduate students and early career faculty, The Junto features engaging essays, interviews, book reviews, and reflections on teaching and pedagogy. One recent essay explores Evacuation Day (November 25, 1783), the day that British troops left New York City after seven years of occupation. Other recent posts feature an exploration of how to teach early American history using the musical Hamilton, a reflection on accounts of seventeenth century piracy in the archives, and an interview with Colorado State University historian Ann Little. Little recently published a biography about Esther Wheelwright, a New England girl who was captured by Wabanaki Native Americans in 1701 and went on to join a French Canadian convent at the age of twelve. Podcast fans will want to check out The JuntoCast, a semi-monthly podcast featuring roundtable style discussions between historians.
