History has always been important to me. As far back as I can remember, I wanted to hear stories about the past. History was my favorite subject in high school, and I later earned a graduate degree. My first published article was in Cobblestone, a history magazine for young readers. Since then I have published books and many articles on all kinds of different history topics, such as aviation, baseball, and the Civil War. For me, the old Latin expression holds true--historia magistra vitae est, "history is life's teacher." Follow me on Twitter @DonLankiewicz
