Edmund Morgan, 1916-2013

We lost a giant yesterday.  Morgan was an incisive interpreter of the past, a profound thinker who grappled with great questions, and a wonderfully engaging and witty writer.  I don’t think we’ll see his equal anytime soon.

    Thanks for posting. I had not seen the news yet. I’m so sad, I feel like I should reread American Slavery, American freedom now.
