Dane A. Morrison

Dane A. Morrison is a professor of early American history at Salem State University. He is the author of True Yankees: The South Seas and the Discovery of American Identity (JHUP, 2014), and is currently researching the maritime experiences and global encounters of early American travelers. Reviewing True Yankees, Choice wrote, “Although part of U.S. cultural and economic history, the role of long-distance sea trade in developing the nation's character and global outlook in the early national period has not been discussed until now....The book is informative and entertaining, a rare combination. Highly recommended.”
