My name is Gail Chumbley, and I deal in the realm of memory. As a career American History teacher, it is my view that the urgency of remembering our collective past is essential. The story of the United States is a powerful narrative of resilience, an effort we are obliged to sustain and pass on to future generations. When we forget our story, we forget who we are as a nation.

Beginning with a two-part memoir, River of January, and River of January: Figure Eight, my interests and expertise also covers topics from the founding of our nation to the present day.  In addition I have completed a stage play, Clay depicting the life of Senator Henry Clay, and another, Wolf By The Ears on the beginnings of race slavery in America.

*Never forget our duty lies in passing our American Story to our young, both in personal stories, and through the larger narrative.
