First–hey, thanks: Year-over-year website traffic jumped a whopping 55.9 percent in 2023!
I have divided my annual list of the year’s most viral stories into two categories–the most popular newish stories, written recently and posted for the first time, and the most popular year-in-and-year out classic stories that are always popular on the site (those classic stories are here).
This page is about the newbies, and here goes:
• About That Girl in the Muskrat Bikini
• Women’s Work: Memories of an Old-Time Hog Killing in Federalsburg, Md.
• The 10-Minute Storm that Turned into the ‘Worst Tragedy in Skipjack History,’ 1939
• A Dream Come True: The Long Journey to Chincoteague in 1912
• Railroad Milestone, with Doomed Cow, Peach Baskets, and a Modern Cocktail
• William Major Parker: The Pioneering Black Keeper at Killick Shoal Lighthouse
• How Bout Them Dawgs? The Crazy Connection Between Georgia Football and Cambridge, Md.
• You’ve Heard of Bootleggers? How about Meatleggers? There Were Lots of Them on Delmarva in the 1940s
