Jordan Blake Carter lives in the desert with a loyal dog, a questionable amount of sunscreen, and a porch overflowing with cacti that may or may not be plotting something. Armed with a sharp wit and an incurable fascination with how people repeatedly make the same mistakes, Carter writes irreverent histories that poke fun at America’s quirks while digging into the grit, chaos, and accidental brilliance that shaped its states. The goal is simple. Tell the truth. Keep it entertaining. Refuse to pretend the past was tidy.

When not writing, Carter can be found hiking sun baked trails, tending spiky plants that thrive on neglect, or falling down historical rabbit holes that start with “this will only take five minutes” and end hours later. Carter has a deep appreciation for human contradiction, especially the kind that builds empires, burns them down, and then writes very confident explanations afterward. History, after all, is best understood when you acknowledge that people have always been deeply human. Just like now.
