Willard M. Wallace is a native of Maine, and a graduate of Wesleyan University where he is now Professor of History. He lives in Berlin, Connecticut, with his wife and two young daughters, in a large white house built in 1830.
Mr. Wallace has traveled and studied in Europe on a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is the author of a military history of the American Revolution, and a biography of Benedict Arnold. He is interested in music, historical novels, and football, having coached junior varsity football at Wesleyan for four years.
William Penn, Mr. Wallace says, was a man of strong will and extraordinary dedication to his faith, but one with a normal number of imperfections. Accordingly, in his book Friend William, he has presented the great Quaker as a real human being.
