New Collection from the Journal of the American Revolution

Next month Westholme Publishing will issue The Journal of the American Revolution Annual Volume 2024, edited ably once again by Don N. Hagist.

This webpage about the book says it will contain two articles by me.

In fact, the book will have only one article from me. That’s because I combined my two web articles about the confounding Samuel Dyer into one complete study.

This volume offers many other articles about Revolutionary New England, including:
  • Remember Baker: A Green Mountain Boy’s Controversial Death and Its Consequences by Mark R. Anderson
  • John Hancock’s Politics and Personality in Ten Quotes by Brooke Barbier
  • Mercy Otis Warren: Revolutionary Propagandist by Jonathan House
  • Captain James Morris of the Connecticut Light Infantry by Chip Langston
  • Smallpox Threatens an American Privateer at Sea by Christian McBurney
  • John Adams and Nathanael Greene Debate the Role of the Military by Curtis F. Morgan, Jr.
  • The Perfidious Benjamin Church and Paul Revere by Louis Arthur Norton
  • The Highs and Lows of Ethan Allen’s Reputation as Reported by Revolutionary-Era Newspapers by Gene Procknow
  • Captain Luke Day: A Forgotten Leader of “Shays’s Rebellion” by Scott M. Smith
  • Engaging the Glasgow by Eric Sterner
(My apologies to the authors of any other relevant articles I missed.)

And there are of course lots of articles about the American Revolution in, you know, other places.
