Episode Synopsis

"Ain’t Nothing but a Man is a 60-page version of Nelson’s 200+ page book for adults. Every page has photographs or drawings to show locations and people of the post-Civil War era, and to illustrate what the railroad slang from the songs mean. 
In “How to be a Historian” the co-author, Marc Aronson, lists the six stages of Nelson’s search:

Finding what is known already
Checking their sources
Finding gaps and disagreements and formulating your own questions
Looking for new evidence
Expanding the search
Sharing what you have found
