  • Review of Battle of Princeton Mapping Project, Revised
    Review of Battle of Princeton Mapping Project: Report of Military Terrain Analysis and Battle Narrative, Princeton, New Jersey, Prepared for the Princeton Battlefield Society by John Milner Associates, Inc., September, 2010. Mark Peterson Professor of History University of California, Berkeley The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, has asked me to review the quality of historical argumentation and evidence used in the Report of Military Terrain Analysis and Battle Narrative produced by John Milner Associates, Inc., in September, 2010 (hereafter, the Milner Report), especially with regard to its relevance to the Institute’s long-standing plan to build faculty housing on land that lies adjacent to the Princeton Battlefield Park. By training and experience, I am a historian of colonial and revolutionary America, and of the New England area in particular. I earned my Ph.D. in history at Harvard University in 1993, under the direction of Professor Bernard Bailyn, and have since then taught the American Revolution and other courses in early American history at Harvard, Boston University, the University of Iowa, and now Berkeley. I have a special interest in the relationship between the written and physical artifacts remaining from the distant past, and the varying ways that individuals and communities have chosen to use these materials to remember or preserve their past. Some of my publications that focus on artifacts, landscapes, texts, and historical memory include a prize-winning article, “Puritanism and Refinement in Early New England: Reflections on Communion Silver,” William and Mary Quarterly, 3d ser., 58 (April, 2001), an essay called “Siege Amnesia: The Siege of Boston and the Loss of Historical Memory” in Proceedings of the International Conference on Cities Under Siege, (2002) and a forthcoming essay in Commemoration in America, ed.
