Dear Readers,

After a long absence, I am posting some updates- here is a group of photos related to the Fort Niagara Event, "Soldiers of the Revolution," on August 2nd and 3rd 2014.

Dear Reader,

Someone very close to me pointed out recently that my blog appeared to be dead. As a result, I have decided to give you all an update as to my whereabouts over the past few months. Fear not, Kabinettskriege will continue. The update takes the form of a photo journal.

The Society of the Cincinnati

In late August, I was fortunate enough to travel in order to research at the Society of the Cincinnati Library.

Update and Apologies

Dear Readers,


As some of you are aware, I have been rather busy over the past few months. I am currently preparing to teach as a visiting history professor at Indiana Wesleyan University. Fear not- your eighteenth century history blog is not going away. Over the next year, it will change, and grow.

For those of you interested in discussing the history of the Kabinettskriege era in person, please consider attending the Seven Years' War convention. It is a wonderful place to discuss this period of history with a number of individuals, such as Dr. Christopher Duffy. Here are the relevant details.

I will be writing more soon- and look forward to this next year!

Thanks for Reading,
