So, you think anybody who writes a book about history is a historian? No wonder you are so lost.

No, I think anyone who writes a book of historical facts (hence the name “history book”) based on research is a historian. And if I were lost, that’d fall under cartography, not history. See, cartography is the study of making maps. Maps are to cartographers as history books are to historians. Make sense?
