About me

Location Lexington, KY
Introduction I am a PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky, where I finished my MA in 2008. I am also a seasonal ranger at Chickamauga-Chattanooga NMP. Research interests include Reconstruction-era Kentucky , the 1st Tennessee, and other similar Kid Glove-wearing dandies. My current work is on slavery, race, and Kentucky's Civil War soldiers (both sides). Two articles are forthcoming: "The Democratic Partisan Militia and the Black Peril: The Kentucky Militia, Racial Violence, and the Fifteenth Amendment, 1870-73", will appear in Civil War History and “'All Men of Decency Ought to Quit the Army': Benjamin F. Buckner, Manhood, and Proslavery Unionism in Kentucky" in The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society.
