History is filled with unpredictable people and unbelievable stories. My mission in life is to dig 'em out and share them with the world, in the hopes of getting other people as excited about history as I am.

My newest book,The Greatest Presidential Stories Never Told, is filled with surprising stories about presidents--like Abe Lincoln's saber duel, or how John Tyler was saved by a song. It follows The Greatest War Stories Never Told and The Greatest Stories Never Told. I've also started working on an exciting new documentary, The Ghost Army, and continue to do other cool history projects.

I like to say that history is much too fun to leave to historians. If you want to find out what I mean, come inside.

Enjoy getting stupefied!
