Pulitzer Prize-Winning Historian Gordon S. Wood Passes Away at 92
Gordon S. Wood, a prominent historian known for his extensive work on the American Revolution, died at the age of 92 after being hit by a car in East Providence, Rhode Island. Wood was a professor emeritus at Brown University and authored several influential books, including 'The Radicalism of the American Revolution,' which earned him a Pulitzer Prize. His scholarship provided deep insights into the early years of American independence and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. Despite his acclaim, Wood faced criticism for his traditionalist views, particularly regarding the roles of women, slaves, and Indigenous people in history. He was also a critic of The New York Times' 1619 Project, arguing against its portrayal of slavery as a central motivation for the American Revolution.
