Don R. Higginbotham,

"Dr. Higginbotham!" Graduated from Malden High School in 1949 NOTE:The picture that is posted of me and the dog named Tyke? Tyke belonged to the Higginbotham's, who lived next door to us. "Dr. Don" - - His mother was my history teacher in junior high. "Dr. Higginbotham!" Professor Higginbotham's research interests are primarily in American history to 1815, although his work on the American Revolution has led him to do several articles on the subject of comparative revolution -- America and Mexico, America and Vietnam, and the American Revolution and the Confederate Revolution. In addition to several books on the American Revolution, he has edited the Papers of James Iredell, a North Carolina and Federalist leader. His most recent publications are "The Martial Spirit in the Antebellum South," Journal of Southern History, 58 (1992), 1-26, "Formentors of Revolution: Massachusetts and South Carolina," Journal of the Early Republic, 14 (1994), 1-33, and "The Federalized Militia Debate: A Neglected Aspect of Second Amendment Scholarship," William and Mary Quarterly, 55 (1998), 39-58. He is currently working on a book on George Washington and his relationship to the American Revolution, an essentially non-military study. He examined his military relationship to the Revolution in George Washington and the American Military Tradition (1985). Higginbotham's George Washington Reconsidered: Selected Essays appeared in 2001. Washington: Uniting a Nation (2002) is his most recent work.
