Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Jo slides across the snow like a young boy, not caring if her clothing gets soaked. Then, as we saw above, she adopts the most manly voice, shouting "Christopher Columbus. These clearly are not words that are lady-like or appropriate in 1933, let alone the Civil War period. And, here, even throws a snowball. Fun tomboyism that is infectious and not threatening.
