Then today’s your lucky day. I’m serving as co-editor, with Tom Lansford of the University of Southern Mississippi, of an encyclopedia of American history from the colonial period through Reconstruction scheduled for publication in 2007. I still have about 35 more entries to assign for my half of the alphabet. If you have a history background and have an interest in contributing — there is an honorarium involved — please email me for a list of available entries. If we don’t know each other, please attach a c.v. or tell me a little something about your background.
