MEET THE EDITOR
Hello and welcome to chartists.net news. My name is Mark Crail, and I set up Chartist Ancestors back in 2003. I have been building it up ever since with the help of many very kind individuals who have provided both information and advice. This blog aims to highlight new additions to the site and developments in the wider world of Chartist studies. I hope you find it and the main site both informative and enjoyable.
