I have a Ph.D. and M.A. in History, and a B.A. in English, and I work as a professional historian and curator in a private archives. I have published four books about south Louisiana history and culture, and I co-wrote another with two colleagues.
My primary interests on Wikipedia tend to relate directly or indirectly to south Louisiana, and sometimes to military history, although I enjoy editing any articles that could use improvement.

For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian,
enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Skb8721!
For making a difference! This Barnstar isn't free, as payment please give this star to at least 3-5 others with 500+ edits but no barnstar; then encourage them to give it to 3-5 others that deserve it. I noticed you have more than 1500 edits but the creator of this barnstar (Pseudoanonymous) hasn't created such a barnstar yet.--Just JamesT/C 01:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
