Table of Contents

Welcome to the MBH Table of Contents. Here you will find all of my posts organized into categories with some cross referencing for periods in history, different subjects, etc. The posts are also (for the most part) organized with the oldest posts towards the bottom and newer posts towards the top of each category. After several months, my work moves behind a paywall (and some posts are behind a paywall anyways) but that should explain why some posts have the paywall.
