(Author’s note: Last week marked one year since I started this Substack, and I sincerely thank all of you for your kind words, time and attention. And because no good deed should go unpunished, I have a favor to ask. Two actual New York literary agents read a smattering of my scribbles and pronounced them good enough to try and sell to a publisher if only anyone knew who the hell I was, or am. So just for shits and giggles I’m going to try and increase my subscriber list, which is where you fine folks come in. If you enjoy reading these, and know of people you think might feel the same, please send them the link to my archive—https://jonathankronstadt.substack.com/archive—from which, if they like what they read, they can hit the “about” tab to subscribe. If for any reason, no matter how invalid or irrational, you don’t want to do this, please don’t. Thanks so much. And now, because I’m taking the week off, a historical piece from just inside the previous century.)
