Welcome |
|
Thanks for visiting my website. Although I consider Florida to be my home, I spent most of my youth in West Virginia and traveled to the Midwest for my education. I received my B.A. from Purdue University (1990) and my M.A. (1992) and Ph.D. (1999) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2005 I arrived here in Gainesville to join the faculty of the History Department at the University of Florida.
At UF, I teach courses covering nineteenth-century American history, political economy, and America’s Industrial Revolution. I just published a book on the early coal industry in Virginia and Pennsylvania and I’m at work on a new study of heat and energy in the Early Republic as well as a project on economic development in nineteenth-century Florida.
If you use the navigation bar to the left, you can find information on my books, the courses I’m teaching at UF, my current research project on heat in the Early Republic, and some links to history web sites. Enjoy, and e-mail me for any questions.
