Edit ProfileEducation
In 1977, Eubank graduated from North Hardin High School in Radcliff in Hardin County. He then procured his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1981 from the then Campbellsville College, having studied under Professors Bobby Russell Himes (1931–2008) and William Edward Bennett (1943–2006) in history and political science, respectively. In 1989, Eubank received his Doctor of Philosophy from Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi.
Career
He then obtained his Master of Arts in College Teaching from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. His dissertation from Mississippi State was published fifteen years later in 2004 as Response of Kentucky to the Mexican War, 1846-1848. Earlier, in 1992, Eubank published an article based on the dissertation.
This selection is entitled "A Time of Enthusiasm: The Response of Kentucky to the Call for Troops in the Mexican War".
In his work on Senator Crittenden, Eubank tells the family story from the contributions of the children of the patriarch. George B. Crittenden (Confederate) and Thomas Leonidas Crittenden (Union), held significant opposing commands during the American Civil War.
Daughter Ann Mary Crittenden"s domestic life, stable in the antebellum years, was in time shattered by the turmoil of war. Several other Crittinden siblings were leaders in their respective communities.
The divisions of war were followed by the rapprochement and reunion of the family but after Crittenden"s death.
Most of Eubank"s book focuses on the Civil War. In 2009, corresponding with his book publication, Campbellsville University named Eubank its 17th recipient of its "Excellence in Teaching Award." Eubank has developed a new course on the Holocaust and plans to take a group of students to Poland. He is developing an ancient history course, with the expectation of field study in Italy and Greece.
He serves as a book reviewer for The Alabama Review: A Quarterly Journal of Alabama History, published by Auburn University, West Virginia History: A Journal of Regional Studies, and Louisiana History, published by the Louisiana Historical Association through the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
Religion
Salvation is not based on an individual's fulfillment of God’s commands, but rather on Christ's fulfillment of them and of being united with him through faith.
Politics
The state should not use its authority to promote particular religious beliefs, nor should it require prayer or worship in the public schools. However, the state should leave students free to practice their own religious convictions.
Views
Every Christians should study the Bible that contains a variety of inspirational and thoughtful ideas in the field of history, law, and poetry.
Membership
Eubank is a member of Campbellsville Baptist Church. He is a member of the Southern Historical Association, the Society of Civil War Historians, the Kentucky Historical Association, and the Filson Club. He is a member of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Committee and the Kentucky Bicentennial Committee.
