If you ever want to make people’s eyes roll, just tell them that you want to talk about history. Certainly, there are the few oddballs that treasure discussing the latest Civil War biography or the newest retrospective on the presidency, but they often hide their historical obsessions fearing it makes them seem too concerned about the lives of dead people. Indeed, my son once told me that there were two types of people—those who want to be historical reenactors and those who want to make fun of reenactors. He reminded me that most people prefer to be mockers as they have no interest in history.

Personally, I have never wanted to be a reenactor (too many costume changes). But I have always enjoyed learning about history. And for the most part, I enjoy learning about small things– how ordinary people lived, loved and learned. So I was enthused to meet someone recently who taught me about Baltimore’s insurance history.
