Biography

Eric Clements is professor of history at Southeast Missouri State University in the United States. The Atlantic liners were his earliest historical interest: an interest that led him to serve an enlistment in the US Coast Guard and to write Captain of the Carpathia: The seafaring life of Titanic hero Sir Arthur Henry Rostron (Bloomsbury, 2016). He is also the author of After the Boom in Tombstone and Jerome, Arizona: Decline in Western Resource Towns (University of Nevada Press, 2003, reissued 2014), and of many articles and book reviews about the history and historic preservation of the American West.
