Now that STAAR is over and I am bedridden with colitis, probably because of it, I have time to blog, look for centennial celebrations for the War of 1812, set up an edublog, renew my DEN status, search prezi, look at Goodreads, catchup on reading, watch war movies to celebrate Memorial Day.
Anyhow, enough suspense,our next historian as a rock star is...Pauline Maier. She is truly a Rolling Stone star status among early American scholars, right there with distinguished names such as Gordon Wood (who I consider a god of American History), Edmund S. Morgan and Bernard Bailyn. Her work has been well-written, researched and arguably some of the best Neo-Whig argument in print. I especially enjoyed "From Resistance to Revolution". Currently a chair of American History at MIT, Dr. Maier continues to teach and preach the importance of the origin and development of American thought of government and principle. I do not know if she has anything else in the works after "Ratification", but I will be looking forward to more of her scholarship.
