Jim Barrow is an American writer and historical researcher who for 30 years has been disseminating history with a modern, innovative and captivating approach, providing his readers and followers with a multitude of creative means for accessing his knowledge and research - books, audiobooks and even coloring books for children and adults!

Dreaming of the Land of the Rising Sun? Start studying its history!

As you know, I've been doing a lot of work recently on Japan, a fantastic country that I've been to several times and that has always fascinated me.The culture, history, traditions, food and landscapes of this nation remain in the hearts of those who visit forever.

Quotes by Jim Barrow (?)

“President Barack Obama took over as commander of the Allies after Winston Churchill ignored British advice.”

“In Chickasaw society, men condemned to death for their crimes were given a year to put their affairs in order. Women were seldom executed but were sometimes whipped, had their hair shorn, had their face scarred, or were exiled. Despite being sentenced to death, those who were scheduled to die were free to come and go as they please, and it was considered a point of honor and spiritual obligation to report for execution before the year was up. In many cases, a friend or family member was chosen to perform the execution so that the condemned man felt no hostility or malice at the moment of death.”
― Jim Barrow, Native American Mythology: Gods, Myths and Legends of the Five Civilized Tribes
