On Monday, March 30th, the consortium of York County history organizations (of which the Brick Store Museum is a part) will be hosting award-winning historian and author, Dr. Alan Taylor, for a discussion on the American Revolution and its Maine connections. This program is free, and will be held on Zoom.
Dr. Taylor is the author of eleven books, with numerous awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. After teaching collegiate courses in American colonial and Revolutionary history for forty years, he retired as the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Chair at the University of Virginia. Most recently, he was a featured historian on the documentary The American Revolution by Ken Burns.
Taylor has published eleven books, including William Cooper’s Town, which won the Bancroft, Beveridge, and Pulitzer Prizes. The Internal Enemy won the Pulitzer Prize for American history and the Merle Curti Prize for Social History (OAH). American Colonies won the 2001 Gold Medal for Non-Fiction from the Commonwealth Club of California. The Divided Ground won the 2007 Society for Historians of the Early Republic book prize and the 2004-7 Society of the Cincinnati triennial book prize. The Civil War of 1812 won the Empire State History Prize and was a finalist for the George Washington Prize. In 2022, American Republics: A Continental History of the United States, 1783-1850 won the New-York Historical Society’s annual Barbara and David Zalaznick Book Prize in American History.
To commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, museums and historical societies across York County have joined together explore the American Revolutionary experience.
