The Past Less TravelledMaking the Investment in History: Debunking Myths and Telling Some Hard TruthsI recently came across an article on debunking some myths about the history field.
It was a fairly lengthy read, but it was an important one that backed it with some pretty impressive data. It went into the need and push to keep history programs alive and why organizations or historical entities still need history majors to work for them. It also goes further to look at the numerous fields one can go with a history degree. There is hope for you beyond dusting off old artifacts in a museum!!

The Fur Trade was a very lucrative business that helped such men as John Jacob Astor make millions and millions of dollars. It was a trade, and time, that had its dangers, but was also one of a peaceable and mutual economic system.
Karl Koster, a Ranger for the National Park Service at Grand Portage National Monument and more recently of Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, recently sat down with me to discuss the importance of the fur trade...2021-09-1145 min
The Past Less TravelledFrontier Duty: Living Historians Casey Beck & Alec StorkCasey Beck and Alec Stork literally came out of the time machine!
They had just finished an event out at Fort Sisseton, or also known as Fort Wadsworth, in South Dakota this weekend and swung by my house on their way home and had a chat with me about all that is entailed with a first-person immersion living history event.
Casey has also recently successfully finished a living history event he planned and organized at Fort Abraham Lincoln, outside of Mandan, ND, just a couple of weeks ago.
It was great to sit...2021-08-021h 12The Past Less TravelledLiving Historian Leif HalvorsonLeif Halvorson wears many hats, and one of those is a top hat, literally!
Leif Halvorson has always had an interest in history and he decided to take that one step further by actually doing it. I recently sat down via ZOOM and Facebook Live @pastlesstravelled and we had a great discussion about why living history is important and some fo the groups and history projects Left does along with some funny stories!
Two great projects Leif works on is a musical duo with his brother, another living historian, Cedric, called "Eric & Arty on...2021-07-161h 02The Past Less TravelledLiving History Month: Brandon LewisBrandon Lewis, of Cody Wyoming, has been a living historian for many years. Brandon has a wealth of experience in living history interpretation and he uses those skills in his everyday job too at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in the Draper Natural History Museum as a Raptor Program Assistant.
Brandon's love of history goes back to when he was a child and his interest was furthered by going to some historical events throughout his childhood.

We may also remember Memorial Day for the War Movie Marathons that are on TV. I recently sat down with two friends of mine, Rory & Cody Cowan and we went over a few well known movies, discussed them and somewhat rated them on their realism and accuracy. These movies were NOT ranked in any way, as I can't stand that.
We...2021-05-2059 minThe Past Less TravelledMother's Day Special: Jessica DelvoFor Mother's Day I thought it would be a great opportunity to sit down with the love of my life, and mother to our two amazing children, and have a conversation with her about what it's like being married not just to someone who has an interest in history, but someone who also does living history.
As we were both on vacation, I took out a mic (like an idiot, i thought I only had one cable for it, but found the other later) and we had an unfiltered and unedited conversation over a bottle of wine, classy, right?

The Albert Johnson manhunt and the Johnny Johnson story have all the makings of a good movie: the foot pursuit, shootouts, explosions, airplanes, outlaws and a mix of the Old West.
The best way to tell this story is by telling it from a paper my great uncle, Wallace Rustad, did in 1962 for the State Teachers College. In this paper he interviewed individuals who were still alive t...2021-04-0851 minThe Past Less TravelledFirst Episode: About me, philosophy and National Medal of Honor DayThe first of hopefully many episodes where we delve a little deeper into history. A little bit about me, how I got interested in history and living history and we go into National Medal of Honor Day by highlighting a few ND Medal of Honor Winners such as Woodrow Wilson Keeble, Willis Downs and go into distinguished units as the ND 164th Infantry.
