As a Doctor of History, I am finding the reading of this very interesting indeed.

Those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it

Welcome to the Jungle, Doc, and that's about all there is to say.

As a "doctor of history", whatever that bs means, you of all people should know the facts in the case were skewed and many forensic scientists and historians believe Lizzie didn't kill anyone.
Must be nice to give yourself a title that exists nowhere but in your own delusional mind.

A Doctor of History would be a person who has earned a Doctorate degree (often called a Ph.D) in History.

Generally the degree would be in a specific field of history, and most of the Ph.Ds I've met have said "I have a Ph.D/Doctorate in Subject X," but "Doctor of ____" is a legit thing for a person who holds a Doctorate degree to call him- or herself. This is why some teachers are called "Dr. X" instead of "Mr./Mrs./Ms. X." The difference between an academic Doctor and a medical Doctor--aside from subject/specialty/profession, of course--is that while MDs are always called "Doctor," an academic Doctor's title is not properly used socially (although tons of them do). Like, when sending a wedding invitation to your neighbor the ER doc, you would address it to "Dr. Jane Doe," but the invitation to your other neighbor, the Ph.D in English, would be addressed to "Ms. Jane Doe."

(I'm not saying the person to whom you're replying does indeed hold a Doctorate, just clarifying that it does exist; it's not a title that exists only in one person's delusional mind.)

That website is not respected by Borden scholars. Please see lizzieandrewborden.com. You'll get a TON of information there. Thanks.
