My 3 degrees are in horticulture but I also had heavy coursework in Spanish and I'm teaching that now. I would say to definitely ask your professors and others away from your schools in which fields professors are needed. You can always get grad degrees in other fields to strengthen your employability; you don't want to get in a situation where there are hardly any jobs in your specialty and you end up being one of those Ph.D.'s who has to drive a truck! Or the only jobs you can find are in srange, far-flung places.
I don't know about the rarity of history professors but there's an oversupply of history teachers around here. A lot of the coaches get history degrees and guess who's always going to get the job first if you and a coach are competing for it.
