Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to the site of Desiree Taylor Researcher and History storyteller!

Why I love the study of history:

  1. The problems we face today live in stories of the past, along with some of the ways those problems were tackled.
  2. Like excavating buried treasure, uncovering and piecing together the complicated stories of the past is fun.
  3. Through studying history we can understand ourselves better.
  4. Truth is stranger than fiction.
  5. Studying history often allows us to bring in a variety of details and perspectives that help us grapple with emotionally and politically charged issues.
  6. Studying our histories in community strengthens community.
