John Burrow is a Ph.D. Candidate of history at Mississippi State University and specializes in 18th and 19th Century British economic and taxation history. He enjoys nearly all forms of the humanities, especially writing, reading, researching, and photography. He especially enjoys photographing landscapes, forests, travels, and urban scenes.
