Dan Buchanan
The History Guy of Brighton, Ontario
Picture
Welcome:
The study of history has been a lifelong passion and now is a full time job. Four unique history books demonstrate my desire to explain historical events objectively and present them in a readable form that everyone can enjoy. 
​Genealogy work continues and the results can be seen on Treesbydan.com.
Whether in books, videos, web pages or PowerPoint presentations, history stories are based on deep-dive research and real documents as much as possible!
