My primary area of focus is the American West, the Civil War (particularly the Kansas/Missouri Border War), The Lincolns and Davises, and Native American Vice President Charles Curtis.
I have appeared on American Experience: Jesse James; History Channel's The States and Aftershock; AHC's Gunslingers Series on Wild Bill Hickok, and several times on CSpan.
I have been involved in Wideawake Films Bad Blood and was a talking head in The American Artist: The Life and Times of George Caleb Bingham (both winners of regional Emmy Awards). Withe Ken Spurgeon and Lone Chimney Films, I have been a talking head in Touched by Fire, Bloody Dawn, and The Road to Valhalla (winner of the Wrangler Award). I was a consulting historian on the film, Home on the Range (Winner of the Wrangler
Award).
My most recent project was Thof's Dragon, with Farmgirl Productions. I wrote and supervised this docudrama.
Reviews
Goodland (2017)
Two strangers show up in a small Kansas town--one is found dead; the other . . . .
Solid. True to the place and the characters. Well-cast. Excellent cinematography. Well-crafted. Josh Doke has a bright future as both a writer and director. Josh has a real feel for the story-telling; in a time where so many movies hang on one chase or explosion after another, his pace suits this story and its location. He deftly takes you to the High Plains, to a world where the sheriff knows everyone by name and murders are not a daily occurrence.
