@ProfWehrman @JHUPress Congrats Andy!!!
Excited that my Journal of American History essay “Historians and Video Games” is up. It covers what games set in America’s past have done and could do, and has advice for how interested historians might contribute. Step one? Play games! #publichistory academic.oup.com/jah/article-ab…

Just finished playing 'Blackhaven' by @historiatedgame. Felt like crying a few times, but stories like this need to be told.
My short talk for @Official_GDC from 2019 on researching historical games is now up for free!
