Related: About this forumHello, Al Carroll here introducing myself
Been a member only a short time. I'm a historian and professor near DC. Teach US, American Indian, and Latin American history, so that's likely where you'll see me post the most often.
I've written two books. Both've gotten pretty good reviews.
Presidents' Body Counts: The Twelve Worst and Four Best American Presidents Based on How Many Lived or Died Because of Their Actions
Medicine Bags and Dog Tags: American Indian Veterans from Colonial Times to the Second Iraq War.
I'm also a longtime activist over at newagefraud.org, which protects Native traditions from frauds, exploiters, and commercialization. It also gets me quite a bit of hate mail, threats, and rumor mongering from those cult operators getting their profit margin threatened.
Good to be here.
