I am trying to find the source for this portrait of Antonio José Cañas. He was the first diplomat sent by the Central American Republic to the U.S. and was later a president of El Salvador. C19 book folks and Latin Americanists, any tips? #twitterstorians

Thank you so much to the Ohio Seminar for a fabulous conversation about canals and dreamers. Your thoughtful feedback brought me so much warmth and joy on this dreary Friday afternoon. Thanks @camshriver @schakenbach and others who are not on here. #twitterstorians @unc_press

I am so excited to hear what the Ohio Seminar thinks of "The Rain" -- in which I dip my toe into environmental history by exploring how a wildly seasonal water cycle upended the plans of a motley crew of canal dreamers. Register and join us! @UNC_Press @HarvardDRCLAS @UNHCOLA
