Thank you.

You chose to support the research behind the stories, and I want you to know exactly where that support goes.

Every figure in NowWeKnowEm starts as a question and a stack of primary sources. The letters, the diaries, the court records, the burial registers, the almanacs. Finding them takes hours. Reading them honestly takes more. Telling the life that comes out of them, and marking clearly where the record goes quiet, is the whole work of this press.

Your gift pays for that work. The time in the archives, the care with the sources, the discipline of not inventing what the record does not hold. It is unglamorous, and it is the difference between history told well and history told loud.

You did not have to do this. You did it anyway, and it matters. Thank you for keeping the lights on while the work gets done.

Warmly,

Christopher B. Gordon
