- About Me
My first book, The Many Panics of 1837: People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis (Cambridge, 2013), was a co-winner of the James H. Broussard Best First Book Prize from the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic. My second book Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions was published by the University of North Carolina Press in August 2025. My new “pet” project is based on my popular course on the History of Animals. I am currently researching Nicaraguan sharks.
