What is this site?
  • A history blog for the everyman.

What does “itinerant” mean?
  • Travelling or wandering from place to place.
Purpose?
  • I felt that making this website could be a good opportunity to:
    • Acknowledge and pay tribute to instances of history in our everyday lives.
    • While improving my writing, photography, and research skills.
