McCormick of Rutgers
scholar, teacher, public historian
by Michael J. Birkner
"Richard P. McCormick made his mark as an innovative student of American party politics, as well as the most influential interpreter of New Jersey history. A distinguished teacher, scholar, and public historian, McCormick revitalized a venerable but dormant state historical society. Later, he used notable anniversaries, such as the Bicentennial of the American Revolution and the Tercentenary of New Jersey's founding, as vehicles to bring history to schools and the general public.
He also helped create a state historical agency, the New Jersey Historical Commission, to promote New Jersey's past and preserve its historic treasures. Birkner details McCormick's politics and interest in history, offering insight and criticism along the way. This comprehensive book will be useful to all those interested in Richard P. McCormick and his impact on political history."--BOOK JACKET.
