Taylor-Made History: A Selected Bibliography
- “William Cooper’s Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic,” 1995. A Pulitzer Prize winner. Also won the Bancroft Prize. Combines biography, social history and literary history to reconstruct a family and a town, and understand the Early Republic era.
- “American Colonies: The Settling of North America, Vol. 1,” 2001. Rejecting an Anglocentric POV, includes Native Americans, African slaves and people from multiple European empires in its look at the colonization of the entire North American continent.
- “The Divided Ground: Indians, Settlers and the Northern Borderland of the American Revolution,” 2006. Focuses on a friendship between a Mohawk and a clergyman’s son to explain how American expansion drove a wedge between Native Americans and whites.
- “The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772–1832,” 2013. Another Pulitzer Prize winner. The awards committee called it “a meticulous and insightful account of why runaway slaves … were drawn to the British side as potential liberators.”
