Ambrose has made a great contribution to the study of American History.

He got about a full-page story in The Los Angeles Times about a month ago...talked
about him fighting cancer.

We can't afford to lose this guy.
I loved him braying about how he never got along too well with his fellow academicians,
mainly because he wrote about war and had a fairly good take on America's warriors.
He said something to the effect that his fellow historians think "you should be writing
about gays and lesbians in the Colonial era."

Maybe Victor Davis Hanson (writes columns for National Review) will pick up
Ambrose's mantle down the road...
Hanson also says he doesn't get much positive feedback from his fellow professors...
sounds like he's going down Ambrose's path already.
