![]() It's been three years since I was in the Green and Grey of the National Park Service. That means that I am close to having my uniform hanging up in my closet as I wore it in my duties as an Interpretive Ranger. Growing up if you would have told me that the National Park Service would be the job that most identified with me, or that I would make the choices that I have in order to return to that life I would have thought you were crazy. Young Ranger Steve had many things he wanted to be, and none of them included wool pants or a straw hat. This blog is an offshoot of just one of those decisions, Fall 2015 marked my return to school, this time to pursue a Master's Degree in Public History. In the class discussions this year there has been talk of the value of a digital presence in history, and my final project for the class American Material Life needed a home, and so this blog was born. This space will be a place for posting things that discuss public history, as well as history as a whole, the internship at the Oral History project and its contributions to history, the life of a grad school student, and there may even be a few glimpses behind the curtain to see a couple other things that are a big part of my life.
