Amazing, Marina! Your article about the 1904 marathon is simply fascinating! The way you brought out the bizarre and chaotic details of this historical event truly captured my attention. I loved how you narrated this story, making it not only informative but also fun. It’s amazing how history is full of surprises, and you did a wonderful job of making us reflect on that. I can't wait for your next article! :-)
Hi Marina. May I join the others in welcoming you back. This piece prompted the question of what someone a hundred years from now might write about some of today’s foolishness . Something like - oh I don’t know- electing a psychopath as president of the USA.
I really enjoyed this piece, Marina. It was well worth the wait, and I'm glad to see you back at work. Kudos for that! On a related note, the human zoo you mentioned reminded me of a Substack I wrote about the St. Louis Fair that year. You might find it interesting, so I'll add a link here. Again, welcome back! https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-human-zoo-of-1904
What a story, thanks - and it connects to a story of my own which is that I'm restoring the Japanese palace that built for the 1904 World Fair in St Louis and moved to the Catskills! If you're interested, I'm on IG @sho_fu_den.

Welcome back Marina, as usual, you made feel like I was a fan watching the marathon race in 1904 live with your passionate writing skills
Welcome back, Marina. You were missed. Your scholarship is, as usual, superb.
Fascinating stuff here, as obscure as it is. The Olympics have obviously come a long, long way.
Brilliant.
Welcome back, Marina.
That was some race with the most interesting participants. Too bad Budweiser didn’t kick in some beer stops for refreshment along the route.
So good to see you back, Marina!
Great piece and fun pics to visualize.
Laughed a lot with this story! Great writing as usual, Marina!
