A foremost authority on the American Revolution, Eugene Procknow is the author of a series of scholarly articles for the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Revolution.

Speaking with Sunbury Press Books founder and program host, Dr. Lawrence Knorr, Procknow discusses how his career as a management consultant with one of the largest global firms allowed him to transition to becoming a writer and historian of the Revolution. He speaks of the discoveries that have provided insights into the thought processes of the Founding Fathers, unique documents, including diaries and the rebel army's order of battle (a copy of which somehow ended up in the hands of the British), and how much more there is to learn.

Eugene Procknow is the host and curator of a website that helps casual and professional researchers locate diaries and memoirs, plus other Revolutionary War sources, which you can find here. In addition, he is the author of "William Hunter: Finding Free Speech" (2022), which is available through Sunbury's Oxford Southern imprint.

More information is available at his professional site. He lives in Washington, DC.
