About

Dr. Eduardo Obregón Pagán is a versatile interdisciplinary historian whose research focuses primarily on the American West, although his interests can take him far abroad.

He has published in literary, geology, and sociology journals, and is the author of two scholarly books. He has also been active as a public historian, publishing two books on the history of Phoenix with a trade press. He was a co-host on the popular PBS and PBSUK series History Detectives, and has been featured on several domestic and international television shows and documentaries. He is the adjunct curator of history at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, and frequently gives invited lectures on the history of Arizona and the West.
