Cover art for October 10, 1775: Statue of Philip Schuyler in Albany. The statue was installed in 1925, but it was removed in 2023 because of his unfortunate association with slavery.

That’s an interesting goof I made with today’s cover art, with the tiny black stripe down the right. It’s a mistake, but it looks like the picture has a shadow, so I’m keepin’ it.

The Second Continental Congress was a very serious, thoughtful body of men who did not shirk their duties. They often worked very long hours, six days a week, and might have gone for seven had it not been for, y’know, God stepping in and commanding, “Hey, none of that. That’s My day.”

So the fact that Congress chose to knock off early one day—and a Tuesday, besides—suggests that maybe they really needed this one.
