Assisting Rural Communities – Texas (ARCTexas)

I specialize in creating entertaining and educational content with a focus on the histories of Texas and America. I also produce author and narrate audiobooks on those subjects, along with a podcast on Texas History and a new podcast for Music History. I also create mobile applications for the ranching community.,

Why worry about History? Without a knowledge of the past, the present is just something that happened by accident and the future, well to many it doesn’t even exist. Without a knowledge of history, there is no knowledge of culture and different people. What you have are students who grow up in echo chambers of simplicity.

With standardized testing, teachers have no time to go in-depth on any subject, they are required to churn out little test-takers. I can understand why they dumbed down what they taught. Teachers don’t have the time and there are often too many students in each classroom.

But what can you and I do? More importantly what is the purpose of this site and the applications we develop? My background is in Communication (talking to folks) and History (learning about the past), and Problem Solving (merging both into real answers or possible solutions). I believe that if we are to dig out of the societal quagmire we are currently stuck in, we need to learn how to talk to each other, understand our past, and calm down and think. There are NO QUICK FIXES!.

This site and the content provided in the books and articles is designed to give you verifiable, non-judgmental information about what really happened, how to get others to understand your pint of view, and how to come to a compromise when disagreements arise.

Life isn’t always pretty, and many have tried to gloss over or hide some of the uglier parts. I will pull back that veil.
