  Hello everyone and welcome to an abnormal week of the internship. Week number 13 is accompanied with great results from our Research Colloquium I was unable to be at due to outside issues and working on final assignments.                It is to might greatest delight that we have done a great job and that my slides and presentation was good enough to help share the Battle of Olustee Project to the viewers on November 17. Looking back, Dr. Gannon really helped me realize and reach a Power Point that looked professional. Before it was way to simple and looked like a High school Power Point and needed some readjustment.

My presentation will be going over the battle itself, providing pictures and images of the generals at the battle and the man that thought of doing the oper...

  Hello everyone and welcome to week eleven of my internship and the blog post for the corresponding week. As the new week comes to an end, the work has been similar to the previous weeks. New elements of the final part of the semester are presenting themselves within each class I am taking ranging from the final papers and tests and other assignments. Although last week was quite stressful, this week was much less affected by outside factors. This week I wanted to discuss my civic responsibility and professional development. As a history major, internally I feel like my goal as a historian goes beyond learning exactly what happened in the past alone. To create viable sources for others to learn the past, uncovering buried and forgotten treasures like artifacts, buildings and even cities and towns. To not do these things is to forget the basics and fundamentals of any craft or sport, it is vital so keep the past alive no matter how volatile, war torn, brutal. The civil responsibi...
