History Articles

Located in this section is a digital library of articles and academic journals that have been written by the professor himself. If you aren't taking any classes, this is a great jumping off point to find historical texts about history. Keep looking for more content as it is published.
AMERICAN ÜBERMENSCH: HISTORY OF SUPERHEROES 
SABER AND SCROLL: VOL. 7: ISS. 2, ARTICLE 3
ABSTRACT
Every civilization has its own mythology. The Greeks had their Olympians. The Vikings had their Asgardians. Early settlers in the United States
had folklore characters like Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill. Today, modern man has the superhero: vigilantes that have power, depth and demand admiration or fear by all. These characters exist on the pages of comic books that continue to entertain readers and enthusiasts. Much like the gods of old, superheroes have a direct correlation to history, and this is most notable in the United States because they remain a viable entertainment and art form that has influenced much of the American experience. In the same way, current events influence the direction a comic takes.

OUTSIDE THE SANDBOX: CAMELS IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA
SABER AND SCROLL: VOL. 5: ISS. 4, ARTICLE 4
​ABSTRACT
There was a time during the antebellum period in America when the United States military thought to use unconventional means to explore the deserts of the Southwest. The United States Camel Corps had a small, yet crucial collection of advocates who helped advance the project. Influential men, like Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, virtually formed a cabal that surrounded the program. However, it was to be short lived, as the United States Camel Corps was only in service for a few years. The loss of crucial leaders, the oncoming Civil War, and the advent of new transportation technology combined to end the Camel Corps experiment in the United States.

​PIETY OVER PIRACY: THE SHAOLIN MONKS’ VICTORY AGAINST WOKOU
SABER AND SCROLL: VOL. 3: ISS. 4, ARTICLE 5
​ABSTRACT
The Shaolin monks of China periodically forsook the scroll to demonstrate their expertise at martial arts. In one instance, Chinese officials, in a desperate last resort, mobilized these warrior monks to take on roving Japanese pirates, or wokou, who were pillaging China’s coast. Because of crumbling law enforcement, a decadent and enticing society, and a weakened grasp on the coastal territories, Ming Dynasty China was a tempting target. This left Shaolin monks as the last line of defense against pirates.
