Christian McBurney writes: “My latest book was published earlier this year and it is my most groundbreaking one: An American Privateer’s War on Britain’s African Slave Trade. Providence merchant John Brown was the main investor and mastermind behind the extraordinary voyage. I also continue to publish the leading Rhode Island history blog at smallstatebighistory.com, in which I release one article a week, with a stable of authors. In my latest article, I write about four wonderful popular American history writers who walked the grounds of Brown when I did when we were undergrads: Edward Ball ’82; Eric Jay Dolin ’83, Tony Horwitz ’79 ScM, ’82 PhD, and Nathaniel Philbrick ’78.
