Wow! Thank you for sharing this. Looking forward to using this with our students.
Absolutely fascinating which led me to look a bit further.

Thank you for this finally recognized individual and the mystery behind his return to England only to go on trial for his beliefs.
Interesting! Happy new year!!
Shana Tovah to those of you celebrating Rosh Hashanah!
Thank you for sharing this, Vivian. So good to see.
Thank you for sharing this most interesting resource! As 
Neme Alperstein
has pointed out, The Czech and Slovak History: An American Bibliography in the the European Reading Room also notes this article: Grassl, Gary C. "Joachim Gans of Prague: America's First Jewish Visitor." Review of the Society for the History of Czechoslovak Jews 1 (1987): 53-90.

A great share,

The information about Gans, Prague and the diversity of the settlers is all interesting and informative. The comment about historical markers and Twitter is insightful. We can learn a lot from those markers.
