I am a historian by training (M.S.) and an antiquary by profession and currently work researching, evaluating, and writing about primarily antique American and European firearms, militaria, Old West relics, and related items. I'm personally especially interested in the fur trade in North America in the colonial era through the 1840s and the history of the United States up to the Civil War, especially as it relates to cultural history and relations with Native Americans. I am also a hobbyist herpetoculturist (reptile keeper) and have several species under my care.
