Hi all, I’d like to get a sense of the / presence here on Mastodon.
If you research and write on the topic - however tangentially - could you like, respond, and/or boost this post?

@ccjones You couldn't get a more tangential interest than mine relating to the Victorian Turkish bath which Brigham Young wrote to George Francis Train was "in the course of erection" in Salt Lake City in 1870. Not yet written about it—still on to do list!
There were at least 3 other such baths in the city between c.1880-1920+ & it's not so far known if this is the one mentioned in the letter—though the leaflet from which image is taken says SLC's "only health-giving establishment." #histodons
