One Thing or Another Podcast #58: Historian and Author A.J. Schenkman Returns to the Show

My guest on the podcast today is returnee A.J. Schenkman, historian, author, and 7th grade teacher. A.J. has a new children's book coming out in 2024, 'Franklin's Trees,' about Franklin Roosevelt, who once listed his occupation as "tree farmer" and who had a love of nature and trees.

A lifelong history buff, particularly of the New York area and some of its historically rich towns, A.J. has made a career of his passion. His books include Murder & Mayhem in Ulster County with Elizabeth Werlau), Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh, and his most recent, Unexpected Bravery: Women and Children of the Civil War. Listen in as we talk about his interest in history, his experience as the town historian for Gardiner, New York, and his books that bring America's past to vivid life. You can see all of A.J. books at his Amazon page.
