Sacramento area author Alan Taylor’s latest book "The Divided Ground – The Northern Borderland of the American Revolution” hits the bookstores on February 21, 2006. Taylor is a UC Davis history professor and winner of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Bancroft Prize for his book “William Cooper’s Town”.

In “The Divided Ground”, published by Knopf Publishing Group (a division of Random House, Inc.), Taylor explores the borderlands history of Canada and the United States in the aftermath of the American Revolution.

Based on his previous success with "William Cooper's Town, and having heard him speak at one of the Sacramento Public Library Foundation’s Authors on the Move events, I expect this book will be a great piece of work.
