Another job! We are also hiring a historian of Wyoming and the US West. It's at the assistant level, but a named professorship with a *2:1* teaching load. Again, if you have any questions, please get in touch.

Also, a bonus that might interest Latin Americanists: Laramie offers dual-language immersion (Spanish/English) in a K-5 public elementary school. My kid goes there, so I'm happy to answer questions about that, too.

My son came down in an I [heart] NY shirt and my daughter, 6, said "it used to be called New Netherland!" Stunned, my husband and I asked her how she knew that. "I listen to your BLAH BLAH BORING talk to each other!"

My daughter lost a tooth. I scrambled to find some money to put under her pillow and could only find a two euro coin. She was *elated* because "it means we are going back to the Netherlands!"
I am on the hook for a European vacation because I couldn't find a quarter.

Descriptions of “Spanish Indians” in colonial New England sources are believed to refer to people taken captive in Spanish Florida and subsequently sold into slavery.
