Author Bio: Paul Lockhart
Paul Lockhart fell in love with history as a first-grader, when his older brother—Keith Lockhart, now of Boston Pops fame—showed him a children’s book on the Civil War. He’s been writing about history ever since. After getting his PhD at Purdue, where he studied European and military history, Lockhart joined the faculty at Wright State University, where he still teaches.
