Hey guys, great posts so far! I know Njaco started this thread, but I'm getting a lot out of this too. I mean, I'm really thinking becoming a history teacher when I graduate from college, so this stuff it helping me out a lot (at least it's stirring my imagination). I would really love being a professional historian.
Hey Njaco, hope I didn't hijack the thread from you.

Heh. I've toyed with the idea, myself...but public speaking terrifies me. Dunno how well I'd do in front of a large class of unruly teens...

But then again, if you do that, they might not even let you in on the school ground.....

Ferdinand, go for it!!
I don't really want to teach but was curious about having the title "historian".

Thanks Njaco! I think the only things I'll have to work on speaking (as RA said), and if I teach, be able to control the classroom. Though if my mom can do it for it for all these years, I'm pretty sure I can do it as well.
I just hope that, if I'm a historian, that I can be a pretty damn good one, like David Cannadine or Martin Gilbert. I might just have to shoot myself if I came out like David Irving.

I always liked Stephen Ambrose.

Oh yeah, he was good. Never did get the whole plagarising thing though. But he was entertaining.

I read where, yes, another author had sketched the bare outline for a book, but had pretty much abandoned it. Ambrose asked if he could take it over and run with it, even offered to give the guy co-author credits. The guy didn't think it was going to go anywhere, so he declined and told Ambrose to have fun and don't worry about the credits. So Ambrose did. And, of course, being an Ambrose book, it sold extremely well. So the guy was ticked and accused him of plagiarizing. Based on what I've seen/read so far, I'm gonna have to come down on Ambrose's side. The guy is too good an author/interviewer/historian to need to stoop to something like that.

Thanks for the info RA! Man, that makes me feel a lot better about Ambrose. The man was almost in a class of his own. Wish he was still alive.
