Unsolicited nomination of Executed Today for the Cliopatria history blogging awards.
----
I would like to nominate "The Headsman", proprietor of the Blog Executed Today. Here is the about page:
http://www.executedtoday.com/about/#cont
This blog is self described as: "a blog of history, sociology,
biography, criminology,... law, and kismet — an unrepresentative but
arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from
the parlous vantage of the scaffold."
It is also engagingly written, and maintains a high standard on a daily
basis. I believe this blog deserves more notice from the history
blogging community, not the least of which for its excellent writing.
