Dr. Delaney’s History Central

Hi, welcome to my web page. I teach history at Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, CT. I know: you think history is a boring subject; it brings tears to your eyes. Well I happen to disagree. History is very exciting. And each and every semester it is my pleasure to prove to students that they too can enjoy history. And many times they find that along the way they may have learned a thing or two (and that never hurts).

Below you can find more about me and the courses I teach. If you have any comments, let me know. I am always interested in feedback.

The greatest team in the history of sports: the New York Yankees. I know there are plenty of Yankee haters out there, as success breeds hatred. But success is synonymous with the New York Yankees. They win. That is what champions do. I am a third generation Yankee fan and my son is the fourth generation to continue what my grandfather started many years ago. You cannot deny history. I don’t deny it; indeed, I embrace it!
