Washington, June 8 -- Representative Seth Magaziner issued the following press release:
"I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my former Professor, renowned historian Gordon Wood.
Wood was the reason I chose to major in History as a Brown University student, and my time studying under him helped shape me into the person I am.
More importantly, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, Wood's scholarship provides a vital telling of how exceptional the American experiment is. Gordon Wood reminded us that our Founders wanted an America in which the true power rests with the people, and I have hope that their words, and his, will never be forgotten."
