Mike “Mig” Gallagher has been scribbling thoughts, ideas, and imagination in a variety of media since he was a kid. While deployed to Iraq in 2008, he published a series of feature articles in Johnstown’s Tribune-Democrat. The paper's editor opined, "I've been proud to have your columns grace our pages." The editorial page editor wrote, “I can attest to the fact that what he wrote truly came from his heart… Mike’s knack for writing is special. He’s as good as many of our national columnists.” Mig has over 100 videos posted on YouTube, ranging from outdoor adventures to dog tales. He has spoken at a variety of patriotic events, highlighted by his experience as the keynote speaker at the United Airlines Flight 93 (9/11) family memorial dinner in September 2002.
Mig was always interested in history. In writing his first novel, California Blood at Gettysburg, he used first-hand accounts and historical photographs, supported by historical descriptions, to imagine how he and his protagonists would act in actual historical events.
Today, Mig teaches American Government to college students. His purpose is to prepare the next generation of American leaders to guide our nation and protect our liberties. Mig has participated in a variety of civil demonstrations, ranging from events that some would label as “conservative” to others tagged “liberal.” His desire is that his students actively participate in an informed manner by standing for causes that have struck their passion.
