John Bradley, hi to you!

Your contact prompted me to look at the Wikipedia page on the charter. Kudos to whoever is responsible.

I understand your puzzlement. Most of us American historians use the terms WH and Americas interchangeably. The purpose of my so-called book on the charter was to popularize the event and document for its 300th anniversary in 1986. It is not a scholarly analysis of the document/event/significance but rather my attempt to encourage citizens to understand the charter in its social history terms.

So, I am guilty of using WH when I meant Americas. Thanks for pointing that out and I will be more precise in the future.

I would add this link to our web piece on the charter to the wiki offering: http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/charter.html

That all seems like so long ago!

Very best, Stefan Bielinski Community Historian & Senior Historian Emeritus http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/
