Stuart Leibiger, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of History and American Studies
Academic and Research Interests:
I specialize in the
history of Colonial, Revolutionary, and Early National America, with a particular
interest in the Founding Fathers, documentary editing, and historical interpretation.
Work in Progress:
I am currently working on a number of research and writing projects, including
a five-thousand word interpretive essay entitled "The Election of 1792"
for a volume on American Presidential Elections to be published by M. E.
Sharpe. I have also accepted an invitation to deliver a lecture on James
Madison in April 2002 at the U. S. Capitol Historical Society in Washington,
D. C. The lecture is part of a symposium on the Congressional careers of
the presidents and, along with the other lectures, will be published in
book form by the Society. My next book is a study of the several primary
accounts written by travellers who visited George Washington at his home
Mount Vernon in the 1780s and 1790s, a wonderful yet untapped resource about
early national political culture.
