Edward Gray is the former editor of the interactive journal Common-place, and the author of several books, including, most recently, Mason-Dixon, which Harold Holzer praised as “a magisterial yet highly nuanced account”

He is the author of Tom Paine’s Iron Bridge, published by W. W. Norton. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Kathleen DuVal called the book “fascinating and important.” His earlier books include The Making of John Ledyard: Empire and Ambition in the Life of an Early American Traveler and the textbook Colonial America: A History in Documents.
