Richard Buel Jr. is emeritus professor of history at Wesleyan University and the author of six monographs on the revolutionary and early republican period.Jeffers Lennox is professor of North American history at Wesleyan University. His research focuses on eighteenth-century Acadia, the northeast, and relations between British North American colonies (early Canada) and the United States during the Revolutionary era.

This second edition, published 11 years after the first edition, has added a new coeditor and greatly expanded the number of inclusions to more than 500 cross-referenced entries. The single most important expansion has been the bibliography on the War of 1812. . . . Typical of all the volumes in this series with which I am familiar, it is an excellent work. The popularity of the Broadway musical Hamilton has brought attention to early American history to a whole new audience and generation. This volume can expand upon that introduction.
