TuckerResearch is from the e-mail address I chose to receive all my genealogy related material back in high school, back when you needed more than one free e-mail address to hold all your stuff due to storage limits, and it sort of evolved into my screen name of choice for all scholarly topics.

I am originally from Killeen, Texas, and earned a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in History from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. I wrote my master's thesis on the boomtown-turned-ghosttown of Thurber, Texas. In the fall of 2006, I started work on my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington, in the field of Transatlantic History. I completed my Ph.D. in spring 2011.^[1]^[2] In late 2010, the Texas Tech University Press accepted my revised master’s thesis for publication. It was published as Macaroni, Oysters, and Beer: Thurber, Texas, and the Company Store in fall 2012.^[3]

On the scholarly front, I've written and presented about Thurber, Texas, La Salle, Vincenzo Coronelli, Hans Staden and Ulrich Schmidel, José de Escandón, and place-names in Mexican Texas. I am interested in the history of cartography, especially maps of the early Spanish Empire, syncretization (or creolization) of toponyms in the New World, toponymy, discovery and exploration, and Texas history, especially during the nineteenth century.

I am professor of history at Temple College in Temple, Texas.^[4]

I love Wikipedia, though I do think it has some issues.

Religion

Adherence: An Evangelical Christian, I grew up a Southern Baptist, but I now believe I should say I am a Free Will Baptist and Arminian in the mold of Arminius and Episcopius, not Limborch or Wesley. A such, I like the idea of "Classical Arminianism" or "Reformation Arminianism" as laid out by F. Leroy Forlines, Robert Picirilli, J. Matthew Pinson, and others.^[5]^[6] As an old school Baptist I believe stridently in individual soul liberty and the separation of church and state, the latter rightly understood.^[7]
I lean towards the mystics in my direct relationship with God, and thus my beliefs, depending on my mood, may be informed by the Kabbalah, Christian Kabbalah, Messianic Judaism, Gnosticism, Hermetica, Reincarnation, and even some Sufism.

Some favorite films

Animal House, Blazing Saddles, The Blues Brothers, The Body, Citizen Kane, Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist, The Exorcist, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lawrence of Arabia, Major League, Moby Dick, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Patton, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rio Bravo, Shenandoah, Spaceballs, The 300 Spartans, Touch of Evil, The Wrath of Khan, Young Frankenstein, Zulu
