D. ANDREW JOHNSON

I like this book. Everyone should pick one up.

It doesn’t matter at all, but I don’t like whatever the Journal of Southern History has done with the way it’s printed. The paper feels all wrong and it’s somewhat glossy??

Title: The street tom waits grew up on. Image: a shabby, broken down old timey American street. Caption: Buildings (left to right): vern's all-nite pizza 'n' tattoo, accordion players' graveyard, abandoned clown-shoe factory, divorced salesmen's polka club, tomb of the unknown cabbie, bootleg ice-cream warehouse, saint frank's hobo orphanage, illegal umbrella incinerator.

Happy 76th Birthday, Tom Waits!

Thanks! I agree. The design folks at JHUP did an amazing job, especially considering how little I gave them to go on.

I love that scene so much

Oh yeah, Chick Jagger was the front-hen of the flock. She was a street fightin hen, at least until the fox got her.

I used to have a chicken my daughter named Chick Jagger

Oh, I’m about to publish the next volume in the SC House of Representatives journals series that has been long dormant (1794-1795)

Have been looking forward to this one from my good friend @dajohnsonii.bsky.social for a while now. Highly recommend.

A wonderful distraction from the world literally burning to the ground: page proofs for The Predatory Sea! 🗃️

I heard this is a pretty good way to get Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina.

Found my book in the wild at the JHUP booth AND it’s beside my good friend Maria Montalvo’s too! #AHA2025

In January 2026, I am slated to begin a term as editor of the Journal of Southern History at Rice, and the SHA is looking for a New Book Review Editor at another institution to work with me. Please apply! Review of applications begins this month.
