Autobiography
I am a native Oklahoman, born in the capital of the Cherokee Nation. Living in the Creek Nation all my life, except for three years in Washington D.C. while my husband was stationed there in the military. My two daughters were born one in Virginia and one Washington D.C. A history major, I have attended University of Oklahoma, Tulsa University and University of Arkansas. My first and primary interest is the Civil War, or whichever name you prefer to call it. To me it is purely and simply "The War". I was aware of two of my great grandfathers, one on each side, serving in The War before I was six years old. Maybe for that reason it has never seemed like "a long time ago" to me, but always relevant to my being. From history, I developed a strong interest in family history, and what my family was doing during different historical periods of our great country. I belong to a number if historical and lineage organizations: Daughters of Founders and Patriots, Jamestown Society, United States Daughters of 1812. United Daughters of the Confederacy, Daughters of Union Veterans, Colonial Daughters of the 17th Century, Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Daughter of American Colonist, Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century, Continental Society Daughters of Indian Wars, First Families of the Twin Territories, etc.
