Dr. Jude Pfister's Latest Book Debuts

Chief of Cultural Resources Dr. Jude Pfister's new book, Defining America in the Radical 1760s: John Dickinson, George III, and the Fate of Empire, is now available from McFarland publishing. 

In his book, Dr. Pfister looks at the arguments both for and against the American colonies during the crucial decade of the 1760s. Before Lexington and Concord, before Paul Revere's lights in a church steeple, before Valley Forge, before Morristown, before George Washington, Britain and America traded recriminations and endured failed diplomatic initiatives. Had the diplomacy not been hampered by slow communication, the disagreements between Britain and America may have been settled in a legislative arena rather than by warfare.
