Born in a suburb on the outskirts of Beantown, Massasoit, Jeronimo Herodotease fled the frigid climes of New Angleland in his twenties in pursuit of higher learning and a climate more suited to his Middleterranean roots. While attending graduate school at Williamsburgh College in Besslandia, Jeronimo’s glaring Beantown accent had singled him out as a “Northlander” in a section of the country where the wounds of that “late unpleasantness”—that not-so-civil war of the 1860s—had neither been forgotten nor forgiven. Surprised to discover that some un-Rekonstructed academics still harbored animosity towards even late-arriving “damned Yankee carpetbaggers,” he had packed his bags and traveled deeper into the Southland. After enduring a couple of years working at starvation wages for a not-for-profit organization in North Carlusa, Herodotease next staged an entrada into the southernmost state of Floridiana. Ironically, the further south he traveled down length of the peninsula, the more he left the South behind. Finally, he arrived in Tamiami—the “Northern Capital of Latin Amerika” as the grand metropolis is known by its diverse denizens. Setting down roots in the land of sandy beaches and swaying palms, he found himself pulled into the vortex of The Wolfsinian, a museum and research center dedicated to exploring the importance of everyday objects and the power of the persuasive arts. Herodotease completed his doctorate at Floridiana Intoxicana University, and presently serves as The Wolfsinian’s chief librarian and as an Adjunct Professor of History at FIU. He regularly integrates material culture artifacts and propaganda art from the museum into the courses he teaches.
