The History Guide also contains an intellectual autobiography. If you are thinking of pursuing graduate work in history, then you should definitely read it carefully before you jump in over your head.

This site has been developed in the Socratic spirit of wisdom and knowledge. If I can't share the knowledge I have obtained over the years then that knowledge has certainly been ill-conceived. Feel free to send me your comments. Enjoy! This is for you!
