Join us for a riveting conversation about with Dr. Travis Glasson, who will be discussing his new book Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution! We will be joined by Dr. Harvey Neptune (History), as discussant.

Dr. Glasson was awarded with the James Kirby Martin Book Prize for Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution in May, at the American Revolutionary War Conference 250. Check out the Yale University Press Review below:

The story of colonists who were neither loyalists nor patriots during the American Revolution, told through the experiences of one transatlantic family
 
At least one‑third of the colonial population were neutrals during the American Revolution, yet they have rarely featured in narratives that shape our ideas about the conflict. By following a single transatlantic family, the Crugers, historian Travis Glasson puts neutrals—the “nobody men”—at the center of this tumultuous period’s history.
