Patrick Whalen

A life-long student of history, I am fascinated by the stories of our collective human past. It isn’t the dates or timelines that drive my quest for knowledge, but rather the real-life stories of the inspiring people who lived through them and the incredible places that studying history can take me. I especially enjoy studying events through the eyes and ears of differing perspectives. How we each can view the same event differently is what really brings history alive for me. I have been a living historian and was once an avid blogger on the subject of the American Civil War. I will read almost any history book that is placed in front of me and love to share my passion of the past through my writing.
