I am a journalist, historian and the author of six books. The latest three are:

Saving Monticello, a history of Thomas Jefferson's house that focuses on what happened to the house after he died

Flag: An American Biography, a history of the Stars and Stripes from the beginnings to today

Desperate Engagement: A history of the Civil War Battle of Monocacy, a little-known but crucial fight that took place four miles south of Frederick, Maryland, on July 9, 1864, and after which Confederate General Jubal Early advanced on Washington, D.C.
