A history professor collected a lot of material

I have an autographed copy. She gave a talk in town and our U gave her a prize for her Mandan Indians book.
What people understand about diseases like the plague and small pox, as well as measles, is mostly wrong. This book puts in all in perspective and tells some history around the war of independence.
I've been interested in history and like to read about things such as this as opposed to wars, conquests and kings and queens. I would have made an OK history professor. However, it is quite the job to get a good posting as a man. They tend to hire women these days as well as the past 30 years. Though my wife never made use of her masters in history. She ended up a language person.
