Exploring neglected aspects of our colonial, revolutionary, and early national history and culture, Early American Studies reinterprets familiar themes and events in fresh ways. Interdisciplinary in character, and with a special emphasis on the mid-Atlantic region from about 1600 to 1850, the series is published in partnership with the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
