| Herman Husband |
Ken Owen's
excellent post at "The Junto" reminded me once again of
Herman Husband. I remain fascinated by his story because his life intersects with so many of my scholarly interests, especially agrarianism, Quakerism, the American Revolution, evangelicalism, and millennialism. Last night I read Wythe Holt's essay on Husband in
Al Young, Gary Nash, and Ray Raphael's
Revolutionary Founders and found it to be a helpful introduction to his life.
I know that
William Hogeland,
Marjoleine Kars,
Terry Bouton, and
Woody Holton have all studied Husband, but I am wondering if anyone is working on a biography of him? Moreover, I am wondering if there is enough material to pull one off. I guess I will have to head to the interlibrary office and order a copy of
Mark Haddon Jones's 1983 Northern Illinois dissertation.

I am working on a biography of him that focuses on analyzing his writing and its historical context. Heading to NC in a week or two (5/20/13). Any knowledge of archival or anecdotal material welcome!
