About Me

historian of the american revolution

My academic research focuses on eighteenth-century American history and is concerned with broad questions about the American Revolution and its consequences.  I have a ‘strange predilection’ for history’s underdogs. I write about American Loyalists who lost, and were then forgotten in their own country despite making it a stronger nation. I write about people dealing with aging, even when it made them and those around them uncomfortable. Join me in considering questions often forgotten—yet revealing.
