Just a quick notification that this here blog is the production, craziness, passion, and love of one guy: Joe Krulder. He likes History so much, that he’s taken the time to genuinely attempt to make sense of our current events through the study of past societies and cultures.

About “joehistorian”

Joe musing in Lübeck, Germany.

“Joehistorian” is the creation of Dr. Joe Krulder, Ph.D.   Krulder firmly believes that History, as a discipline, is grossly misunderstood by the general populace. Though Joe faults academia mostly, he has taken up the banner to bring his thoughts (as well as his struggles to make a living) on the craft of History before the masses.

Joe teaches as an adjunct instructor at Yuba College in Marysville, California, and at Butte College in Oroville/Chico, CA.
