About Me

American Civil War

While in the military I was injured, so I became a self-taught stock market trader. As an independent stock trader I only trade my money; as a free-lance writer I contribute to The History Channel Classroom (A&E Television Networks), historical societies, and various publications. I am also an editor for AOL and Netscape's Open Directory Project: North Carolina and the American Civil War.
I have had the honor of interviewing General Chuck Yeager, survivors of Pearl Harbor, a Doolittle Raider (one of the last survivors), a Texas Ranger (last survivor) involved in the Bonnie and Clyde showdown, and the descendants of Cherokee Chief William Holland Thomas. Contributions to The History Channel Classroom include: Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Trail of Tears: A Forced March, The Cherokees of the American Civil War, The American Civil War: Guerrilla Warfare, American Civil War in Southern Appalachia, and Cherokee Chief William Holland Thomas and his Confederate Legion of Cherokee Indians and Highlanders.

On a lighter side: Yes, I am a serious person, however, I also believe in having lots of fun. I am very spontaneous and don't like status quo; at the drop of a hat may be on a cruise, a jet or road trip, but am also very content relaxing at home. I love my family, traveling, cats, my fly ride, and sometimes slow chicks (all work and no play, well, you know the saying).
You scored as General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Perhaps the finest cavalry general of the war, you've been called a genius by historian Shelby Foote. A down and dirty fighter, you rarely lose and truthfully, well, you're more than a bit scary...

Heroes:

I passionately admire and highly esteem individuals that pour their hearts and souls into a "Cause" (obviously this includes the men and women of the American Civil War).
Chief William Holland Thomas and Vivien Thomas are two that also come to mind (they are not related). Although they lacked formal educations, they overcame prejudices, biases and barriers to become not only influential pioneers and positive role models, but they greatly altered the course of the world.
