http://nighthawktalk.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
With an eagle eye for prey, Nighthawk swoops through the fourth wall to get a character's-eye view of the action. Saturday, December 22, 2012. Season's Greetings and all that jazz. FREE DECEMBER 22-23, 2012. Nighthawk here, wishing you a Happy Look-We're-Still-Here Day! I've got Chief of Detectives Igor Thorsen from Deadly Legacy. Back in the studio. The chief doesn't observe Christmas at this time of year. He and his family celebrate Yuletide. A bit harsh. How about adopted? So, you can see, the kissing...

Tennessee WordSmith: WHY IT MATTERS TO ME: RACE Oct. 19, 2010
http://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com/2011/02/why-it-matters-to-me-race-oct-19-2010.html
The Blog of Author and Historian Troy D. Smith. Sunday, February 27, 2011. WHY IT MATTERS TO ME: RACE Oct. 19, 2010. October 19, 2010. I think a similar exercise would help anyone develop better understandings of themselves and of these particular issues. Perhaps you are a person who does not particularly care; well, why not? Maybe isolating the answer to that question can lead you to future experiences which will make you care more. Saw and understood the significance of race? I prayed that the Lord wou...

http://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com/2014/07/remembering-jory-sherman.html
The Blog of Author and Historian Troy D. Smith. Friday, July 4, 2014. Troy D. Smith. In the late 1990s I was just getting started as a writer in the western genre, having been at it then for four or five years. There was an online magazine edited by Taylor Fogerty called American Western. I used that laptop to write my blues mystery novel Cross Road Blues. Troy D. Smith. July 4, 2014 at 2:55 PM. July 4, 2014 at 5:37 PM. July 5, 2014 at 12:09 AM. July 7, 2014 at 1:58 PM. A fine tribute to a great writer.

The Blog of Author and Historian Troy D. Smith. Thursday, June 25, 2015. On the Confederate Flag. Troy D. Smith. This was not intended to be a blog post, but was actually a (VERY long) Facebook comment. It is one part history of the Confederate Flag and one part my take on the present controversy. I will just post it as I wrote it on Facebook, along with this image (culled from my American History I power point lecture.). Someone asked me recently if I thought the Stars and Bars should be treated the sam...

Tennessee WordSmith: Barack Obama, Race in America, and the Significance of 2012
http://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com/2012/11/barack-obama-race-in-america-and.html
The Blog of Author and Historian Troy D. Smith. Friday, November 9, 2012. Barack Obama, Race in America, and the Significance of 2012. In recent months, a couple of studies have been released that I found very disturbing. One demonstrated that racial prejudice among white Americans has increased significantly. Since the 2008 election of Barack Obama; another reveals that white people today think they are victims of racism. More than African Americans are. Were just and noble: but that in the Southern cou...

Tennessee WordSmith: September 2014
http://tnwordsmith.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The Blog of Author and Historian Troy D. Smith. Monday, September 1, 2014. Labor Day Musings: Why Unions Still Matter. Sometimes students complain to me that my American History survey classes are an endless refrain of “race, race, race,” or “labor, labor, labor,” or a combination of the two. And they are right, to an extent, though I do cover other things as well… but those two topics have been huge factors in American history, and they do often intersect. Unions help preserve freedom! 8221; (WWII.).
