A native Missourian and lifelong student of history, Kerr has lived, worked, and traveled extensively throughout the United States. The places, people, and events of America – their stories past and present – inspire his writing.
Gib Kerr is a businessman, historian, writer, commentator, and patriot from Flyover Country whose diverse background provides him with a unique, well-rounded perspective on past, present, and future events.
Guided by the notion that the past is prologue, Kerr’s writing explores history and how history not only shapes modern culture, but also offers clues about what lies ahead. Or as his fellow Missourian Mark Twain reportedly said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Kerr is particularly interested in the American Revolution and the Civil War—along with the frightening parallels between those times and the growing tensions in 21st century America.
Kerr’s first book, States of Rebellion, is a work of political fiction that artfully weaves history into the storyline. Citing examples of impactful fiction such as Uncle Tom’s Cabin, 1984, and The Gulag Archipelago, Kerr believes that fiction is often the best way to illuminate the truth. States of Rebellion imagines a future constitutional crisis in America, where red state patriots rise up against a modern-day domestic axis of evil consisting of Big Tech, the Deep State, and Marxists.
Kerr’s second book, Un-Cancel Robert E. Lee, An Open Letter to the Trustees of Washington and Lee University, is the nearly forgotten story of a great American hero who has been unfairly targeted by woke cancel culture. And it is a call to restore Lee to his rightful place of honor, beginning with his final resting place on the campus of W&L.
Kerr is a graduate of Washington & Lee University (BA) and the University of Virginia (MBA). He has raised four children and is the grandfather of five (and counting). He lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
Robert E. Lee has been unfairly “canceled” by modern culture—even at the university that he saved in the aftermath of the Civil War—yet his example of honor, character, and reconciliation is needed now more than ever.
Robert E. Lee is perhaps the most misunderstood figure in American history. Although opposed to slavery and secession, he believed his duty was to defend his home state of Virginia from the invading Union Army. He was a reluctant warrior, tragically compelled to fight in a war he never wanted.
It’s 2025 in the Divided States of America and the newly elected Marxist powers in D.C. move swiftly to impose their radical agenda—from the Green New Deal to draconian gun control, open borders and, with help from Big Tech and the Deep State, complete control over the flow of information. When all seems lost, Duke Shelby—a combat-wounded Navy SEAL and Missouri congressman—joins with his fellow Red state Patriots to fight back. A Flyover country rebellion gains momentum, forcing the military to examine their oath to support and defend the Constitution…and ultimately, to choose sides in America’s greatest internal conflict since the Civil War.
