Loving Mysteries/Writing Histories

I love to read mysteries. I used to think of mysteries as the book equivalent of candy corn, my special treat which gave me a rush but not one which necessarily was feeding my brain. But as a now over fifty-year long reader of mysteries, I’ve come to realize that…

The Founders Abhorred a Mob

The American Revolution was not brought about by a mob. In fact, in the eleven years leading up to the Declaration of Independence, American colonists largely relied upon peaceful means to oppose the tyrannical and oppressive actions of the King and Parliament.

Partisan Courts and the American Dream of Justice

The fight for independence in the 1770s was in large part motivated by the colonists’ disgust with how the King and Parliament sought to manipulate colonial judges, and in turn, the King and Parliament understood just how important it was to have power over the judges and the judicial system…
