Tomorrow the U.S. celebrates Independence Day, and the Two Nerdy History Girls are taking a few days off to celebrate, too, with family and friends.
If you crave a dose of historical nerdiness in the meantime, I recommend the Library of Congress’s Today in History page for the Fourth of July. It includes a letter from John Adams to his wife Abigail Adams, describing a spontaneous celebration. Further down the page you’ll find a short, entertaining account of celebrations on the American frontier.
And since we in the U.S. can expect to hear “The Star Spangled Banner” quite a bit over the next couple of days, you might want to check out this New York Times article about our National Anthem.
Happy Independence Day!
