How Veterans Write and Share Their History

with Russ Horton

Russell Horton is the Reference & Outreach Archivist at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. The son and grandson of Army veterans, he grew up with a deep appreciation for military history. He earned his undergraduate degree in history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his master’s degrees in history and library science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is also the author of an award-winning article, “Unwanted in a White Man’s War: the Civil War Service of the Green Bay Tribes.” In his 20+ years at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, Russ has helped thousands of researchers, ranging from genealogists to professional historians, learn more about the stories and sacrifices of Wisconsin veterans.
