📚🎭 Ah, another riveting tale of self-reflection where we're all supposed to learn from history by reading a book about Germans written in 1955. Because nothing says enlightenment like gazing into the abyss of our own societal failures while clutching a vintage paperback. 📖🙄

This book has triggered some memories on the early involvement of Spain in the SKA development which I documented on LinkedIn, but I will write a thread here about them.

Great book (PDF & EPUB) if you have any interest in the SKA's early history. Really good job from Richard Schilizzi, Ron Ekers, Peter Dewdney, and Phil Crosby on compiling a lot of evidence on the journey to establish the SKA, with what went well, and not so well, with lots of detail and notes.

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1841:
"I started in a bark canoe for York Factory, a voyage of ten days, during which, when not wind bound in Lake #Winnipeg, we travelled at the rate of seventeen hours per day -- and on one occasion we started at half past 7 pm the following evening. I mention this to give some idea of light Canoe travelling, which of all kinds, is by far the most severe upon the men. On the 30th we reached Norway House #Manitoba, the place where.... #CanadaHistory #HistoryBook -
YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1841:
"Mr. Harriott himself, who came to the Country when quite a boy and is much liked by the Natives generally, being upon a voyage once, accompanied only by two men, fell in with a band of Assiniboines to whom he was well known, and as it is almost a universal custom when we meet Indians to give them where-with to smoke, he drew up his horse and in order to get the Tobacco from his pocket laid his gun for a moment across his saddle... #CanadaHistory #HistoryBook -
YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1826:
"Commenced close gloomy weather. At 3 am Embarked & continued our route down the Echimamish without meeting any obstruction from want of Water, which is a rare occurrence this season, I understand. On arriving at the Dam erected by Mr. Kemp for the purpose of elevating this Stream, we found the Sluice Gate carried away & the Work otherwise considerably injured. At noon we entered Hairy Lake & were opposed by a Breeze from the SW. #HistoricJourney #HistoryBook -
My favourite history book - The Land of England by Dorothy Hartley. A wonderfully insightful book about how life was lived in the country. What's your favourite history book and why?

Kia ora from #Aotearoa #NZTwits Today is #Monday #Funday for me
It's the last Monday of the month when a #Histodon colleague from another city and I get together at our #SelfSustainable #OffGrid property in the Waiau District to mahi (work) on related research content for our new #HistoryBook projects #Collaboration
Thankfully Rā is shining brightly today so plenty of #SolarPower to run our 2 computers and endless drives...
We met at the regional #library a while ago and became firm friends
