We have of course noted the death of the great historian of the American Revolution Gordon Wood. As it happens, the Yale Journal of Law and Humanities has just published online its 36.6 issue: Festschrift in Honor of the Scholarship of Professor Gordon Wood, with the following note:On November 22-23 of 2024, Yale Law School hosted a special Conference on the Scholarship of Gordon Wood. The Yale Journal of Law & Humanities has the honor of publishing a festschrift volume of papers presented at this conference. Professor Wood was the leading historian of the US Revolution, and it was an honor to bring his work into dialogue with contemporary legal scholarship. This issue is dedicated to Professor Wood's memory.
The editorial team would like to note that Professor Wood, in addition to being a brilliant scholar and wonderful writer, was an extremely kind person. We were all deeply saddened to learn of his passing. It was our genuine pleasure to have had the chance to work with him in preparation of this special issue.1.
