Do you like surprises? I hope so because there is a big one. You’ve expressed so much interest in our canvas maps over the past three weeks that a way was found to make things happen with the vendor.

It also would look great framed. Incidentally, my wife wants one in every room. The map is worth it. If you have been a fan

We worked extensively with Indigenous scholars and people with lived experience from the nations represented in FLAMES OF FREEDOM. Building on my manuscript, it further enhanced the deep, scholarly approach I took, expanding it into oral and Indigenous histories that these tribes have told about the American Revolutionary War (but rarely written about). Kellin & Lune are two of the many people we worked with. You can read more about them on our Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/.../flames-of.../posts/2996496

The possibilities of it excited me. Nick Bostrom's work is something I read religiously. I find his work thought-provoking and sometimes challenging. I also find it thought-provoking.
