Virtual Author Series featuring Albert Louis Zambone

The Fort Ticonderoga Author Series features presentations by authors of books related to Fort Ticonderoga’s history.

In Daniel Morgan: A Revolutionary Life, the first biogra­phy of this iconic figure in forty years, historian Albert Louis Zambone presents Morgan as the quintessential American everyman, who rose through his own dogged determination from poverty and obscurity to become one of the great battlefield commanders in American history. Using social history and other advances in the discipline that had not been available to earlier biographers, the author provides an engrossing portrait of this storied per­sonality of America’s founding era—a common man in uncommon times.

Albert Louis Zambone earned his PhD in American History from the University of Oxford, an MA in Medieval Studies at the Catholic University of America, and a BA in History from Johns Hopkins University. His scholarships and awards in the field of early American history include a Rockefeller Fellowship from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. He hosts the podcast “Historically Thinking.” This is his first book.

Your participation in these online programs through the Center for Digital History supports Fort Ticonderoga’s mission to preserve, educate, and provoke an active discussion about the past and its importance to present and future generations.
