“Quaker, Whaler, Traitor, Spy! shows how serious research, graphic art, and reflections on history can create fun and free-spirited learning for students and general readers alike.”
“Skillfully navigating the treacherous terrain between historical truth and relativism, Whaler, Traitor, Coward, Spy! is ideal for introducing students to how professional historians grapple with the problem of knowing the past.”
“Crabtree’s graphic history is both novel and compelling. Through the story of brothers William and Francis Rotch, Crabtree guides readers into the world of the historian, where conclusions can and do change. This innovative and important work is a reminder that historians research, reconstruct, and represent the past in multifaceted ways.”
