Very sorry to learn of Gordon Wood’s passing. He was an extraordinarily gifted and generous scholar, always a great and steady friend to documentary editing and the Adams Papers.
A week after I defended, Gordon Wood kindly chaired our @oah.org panel. I battled thru a meh draft + sought counsel. He told me a good conference paper should be like standing in your colleague’s office doorway, talking a little too long about a topic you’re totally fascinated by. Solid advice! 💫 🗃️

I just heard the truly terrible news about Gordon Wood. This last fall I was able to spend some time with him and an undergraduate student conducting an oral history about 1976, part of a Brown 2026 project.
At the end, Wood told me how much he loves his family and being in his 90s.

I just received the terribly distressing news that Gordon Wood was hit by a car and killed yesterday. We were together with other Founding era scholars at the 2nd Judicial Circuit conference last week at Lake George, and he was as usual in fine fettle and as always enjoyable to talk to.
