Hi Eric,

I am heading out to check out the Haymarket Martyrs Monument in Chicago's Forest Home cemetery, having been asked to help locate a time capsule buried there in 1892. If things progress, I will have a piece that would fit your session as I would look at current commemorations and contestations for interpretative authority at the site (esp. those by modern-day anarchists). I will know more soon, but just wanted to check in. Also, hello from Chicago from me, Ryan, and Alex! 

Best,
Rebecca

Subject: Proposed SHA Session

I am looking for people interested in being part of a thematic session for
SHA in Fort Worth. A working title CONSTRUCTING THE PAST: MANIPULATING
HISTORIC LANDSCAPES.  I will be examining the 20th C reworking of the
cultural landcape and built environment of Plymouth Mass. to eliminate
evidence of the 19th century textile and manufacturing mills in favor of
the Pilgrim story.  Any region or period where the landcape has been
altered to promote a singular interpretive theme would be great.  Anyone
interested can contact me off list.
Cheers
Eric Deetz
