    Occasionally, a professor will assign a book in their lecture whose origins can be traced to a seminar paper. Undergraduates typically respond to this piece of trivia with emotions ranging from indifference to mild admiration. Graduate students however, tend to display more of an annoyed reverence which conveys the understood difficulties involved in forming an original and unique argument designed to contribute to the existing historical scholarship. In this regard, I am quite annoyed with William Cronon, who wrote Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England during his time as a master’s student at Yale University.

As the north began to push harder and harder for the anti-slavery movement all they did was drive the wedge further between the two halves of the country.…
