Book Reviews

Perhaps it would be more fitting for me to entitle this section Book Reports instead of Book Reviews, as more often than not I really don't write a review, but merely post my thoughts. Granted, you can probably figure out from those thoughts whether or not I enjoyed the book.

Film Reviews

I don't write up too many film reviews, possibly because I live in a remote area about one hundred miles from the nearest theatre, and consequently I rarely films in the theatre. Generally, by the time I've seen the movie, so has half the Western World, so what's the point of writing it up? Still, every now and then, I jot down some thoughts...

Masters Thesis Research

I obtained a master's degree in historical archaeology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2000.

My thesis project was an analysis of the the historic cemeteries in three regions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Cades Cove, Cataloochee, and Hazel Creek. Headstones are compared with respect to size, epitaph content, symbols, and kin terms across time periods, genders, and ages. It also is a potentially good source for genealogical information, as it includes a burial inventory and map for each cemetery in the three districts of the park that were studied.
