Ever wonder what someone would tweet about in the 1800s? Well the Massachusetts Historical Society is answering your call. John Quincy Adams seems to have had a fondness for short diary entries, perfectly constructed for tweets.
The Massachusetts Historical Society is under taking a project which provides you with line a day entry that John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary.
For today, August 10th, he writes:
8/10/1809: Squally Night and rainy Morning. Saw a Ship. Lat: 43-49. Long: 56-30. Read Plutarch's life of Romulus.
Added bonus, MHS provides a link showing you the exact location.
