William hogeland books

Born in Virginia and raised in Brooklyn, New York, William Hogeland is the author of the narrative-history trilogy Wild Early Republic  — The Whiskey Rebellion (Simon and Schuster), Declaration (Simon and Schuster), and Autumn of the Black Snake (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) — as well as the expository work Founding Finance (University of Texas Press) and a collection of essays, Inventing American History (Boston Review Books/MIT Press).
