Robert Baker

Historian, Freelance Writer, Speaker

I am an American historian. My historical writing focuses on the rule of law and the quest for justice from the Atlantic world of the seventeenth century through modern times. My specialty for many years were the stories of fugitive slaves (freedom seekers, actually) and how their relentless pursuit of liberty shook and finally toppled the American constitutional republic.

I am available as a speaker and educational consultant, as well as a copywriter and speechwriter. I also write frequently about subjects that range from constitutional history to Hollywood, from Magna Carta to wine.
