Greetings, I am Daniel Walker Howe. I entered this world on January 10, 1937, in Ogden, Utah, and have devoted my scholarly pursuits to the early national period of U.S. history, particularly focusing on its intellectual and religious dimensions. My academic journey has taken me from East High School in Denver to Harvard University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in American history and literature, magna cum laude. Subsequently, I pursued my Ph.D. in history at the University of California, Berkeley, completing this milestone in 1966. As the former Rhodes Professor of American History at Oxford University and now Professor of History Emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles, I have been privileged to delve into the rich tapestry of early American history and share my insights with students and fellow scholars. My Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "What Hath God Wrought" (2007), stands as a testament to my commitment to shedding light on the formative years of the United States. I am honored to have served as the president of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic and as a Fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Royal Historical Society. It is a pleasure to connect with you and discuss the diverse and captivating facets of early American history that continue to inspire my work.
