Abstract
[In a review of the seminal work on education in the new republic, The Learning of Liberty by Lorraine Smith Pangle and Thomas L. Pangle, historian Edith MacMullen wrote that she wished the Pangles “had looked to the second tier of Founding Fathers,” those who labored at the state or community level, and to women. Scholars must, MacMullen wrote, “break away from a myopic focus on the great and famous.”1 The publication of the nonwinning essays in the American Philosophical Society contest is an important step toward heeding MacMullen’s advice. Some of the essay writers are so far removed from the great and famous that identification is difficult.]
