“ON A BLUSTERY MARCH MORNING in the year 1630, a great ship was riding restlessly at anchor in the Solent, near the Isle of Wight.”
David Hackett Fischer is University Professor and Earl Warren Professor of History at Brandeis University. Fischer's major works have tackled everything from large macroeconomic and cultural trends (*Albion's Seed, The Great Wave*) to narrative histories of significant events (*Paul Revere's Ride, Washington's Crossing*) to explorations of historiography (*Historians' Fallacies*, in which he coined the term Historian's fallacy). - Wikipedia
