Jack Pickup Jr.

Expertise

I am currently a reenactor of both the American Civil War and World War II. I have been involved with other reenactments from many periods including Roman and the Middle Ages/Renaissance. I am quite well versed in all aspects of military history from the Ancient Period all the way up to World War II, especially regarding Military Engineering up to the period of the American Civil War. I am also a middle school social studies teacher.

Experience

I have a degree in History and Education. I have been a teacher at the secondary level teaching all aspects of High School History. I have studied and travelled extensively both within the United States and overseas. I currently do presentations for local schools and teacher certification programs.

Organizations
Confederate Corps of Engineers, Unit Commander: First Confederate Brigade of Illinois, Chief Engineer: Second Panzer Division, WWII Historical Reenactment Society: MHEA, Military History Education Association

Publications
Reenactor Magazine, Various articles

Education/Credentials
Bachelors degree in History and Education from Elmhurst College in Illinois. Work on doctorate cut short by birth of my children (more work, less play!). Soon to be resumed, however.
