John Quincy Adams Tweeting Sea Journey to Russia c.1809
This Twitter project undertaken by the Massachusetts Historical Society made my day! It seems that many of our 6th president’s journal entries were so brief they often came in under Twitter’s 140 character limit! (E.g. “Weather fine_ wind scanty. Lat: 44-13. Long: 53-40. This afternoon I found the Caboose on fire.”)

Mass Historical Society is Tweeting (retweeting?) his sea journey to Russia in a daily update exactly 200 years to the day after the original trip. Join the 9,300 and growing followers of @JQAdams_MHS.






My ancestor the Tweeter – so cool. Awesome piece of information to add to my geneology research.
