I wrote an essay on the book and its significance for the fiftieth anniversary of its publication. I poured a lot into it. And I will never forget Gordon's generous response to it, which remains a true highlight of my career.

Deeply saddened to learn of Gordon Wood's passing. Few have had an equal impact on the study of the American Founding, or on my own intellectual development. No book is more responsible for making me a historian of early constitutional history than Wood's *The Creation of the American Republic*.
Jonathan Gienapp, Stanford University, reflects on the historiographic and scholarly contributions of Gordon Wood's The Creation of the American Republic.
@jgienapp.bsky.social wrote a fantastic essay to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Gordon Wood’s Creation of the American Republic. The book, along with Bailyn’s “Ideological Origins,” set the terms of debate for the next decades.

Pleased to post my draft article, “Discovering the Historical Anglo-American Constitution.”
I study the history of birthright citizenship from the 1100s to the 1700s. The English common-law rule of natural-born subjects was always tied to territory and jurisdiction. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Trump the businessman said, “You’re fired”; Trump the president is fighting in court for the right to say those words whenever he wants.
This was one of the first books about the American Revolution I read in college. It was like opening an entirely new door and I devoured it like I would a novel.
