C. Bedford Crenshaw Born (1972-03-01) March 1, 1972 (age 52)Louisville, Kentucky , USA Occupation Certified Genius/General Nuisance/
I'm just a cute, charming, lovable, brilliant, modest, oh-so-humble Confederate-American Sphenisciform named C. Bedford Crenshaw. I have a Bachelors of History , Bachelors of Geography , and Masters of Liberal Studies (focusing on history and geography) from Indiana University Southeast and have completed all the coursework for a Ph.D. in Economic Geography , specializing in Historical Geography , at Indiana State University . I am a well-known writer of Magic: The Gathering articles on Cardshark.com , having been the first person rated #1 in the Louisville area. I am currently seeking a job in history, as I am burnt out on geography (which is why I'm taking a break from the Ph.D. attainment). My main interests on Misplaced Pages are the history and tourism opportunities of Indiana and Kentucky, especially my hometown of Jeffersonville (and Louisville ), and delving into my scholarly specialty: American history from the American Revolution to the War of Northern Aggression . I am most proud of my work on Big Four Bridge , Indiana in the American Civil War , and History of slavery in Indiana , all three GA's, and Beck's Mill , Richard Lieber , Thomas Hines , and the John Work House and Mill Site .
Consider me as the Portal Penguin, as I have done Portal:Louisville (featured), Portal:Kentucky (featured), Portal:Indianapolis (featured), Portal:Cincinnati , and Portal:Freemasonry . I've contemplated starting Portal:Lexington , and Portal:Southern Indiana .
I was a Wikipedian Administrator, but it was stolen from me without due process by a few fellow administrators who thought they should arbitrarily decide what should be and should not be on Misplaced Pages, despite WP:NOTCENSORED , and used their prejudice against me to get me desysoped. I will fight to regain what was stolen from me, for the good of all Misplaced Pages.
