About Patriots and Peoples
Patriots and Peoples concerns history. While I write about many topics (mostly North American history), the name of the blog stems from investigating ideologically driven histories from both the Right and the Left as described in an early post: "Patriot's and People's Histories". In "Worth Another Look" are summaries and links to some of my best posts.

Two Theses
Historical Truth is a phantom, but historians must tell true stories. Truth is objective; truths are partial and always rooted in a point of view.
The best historians balance several points of view, acknowledging their stake in the stories they tell.

Ah! My favorite fishing hole The Mississippi has gone from an open sewer to a fun recreational venue. The Minnesota River still needs work. Thanks Mr. Nixon (seriously).. :)
