Bridging history
Yesterday I mentioned the idea of constructing a connecting bridge from a broad scale of history down to a daily level of events. Today I spent my allocated research time to building that bridge. It isn't very wide, as determined by connections to varieties of events, but it's something I can work on.
There aren't many grand ideas connected with this: it's a matter of filling in details from the sources I have. There are all kinds of connections to peoples that are hanging loose, so to speak, so I want to work on a similar bridge from a world-wide perspective to a local one.
