Research Interests
My book on the women of abolitionist John Brown's history, The Tie That Bound Us: The Brown Women and Radical Antislavery, will be published by Cornell University Press in August 2013. I am working on an article about John Brown's children in southern California in the late 19th century and about how their lives intersected with memory of the Civil War. I am also in the beginning stages of a book-length project about abolitionist ideas about emancipation before, during, and after the Civil War.Contact Information
