Robert P. Strange has been combing the archives for decades, building on a family tradition of investigating how their forebears experienced - and contributed to - history. Robert grew up on an equestrian farm, training and selling hunters and open jumpers. After serving as an officer in the Air Force, he developed a career as a Professional Civil Engineer in the United States, Europe and Japan, then served the V.A. as Senior Engineer in charge of all historic Civil War facilities. He lived and worked for years in Europe, touring the regions he writes about, conducting research on his family origins and the context in which they evolved.
