Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman, Professor of Marketing at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Professor Hirschman is author of more than a dozen books, including When Scotland Was Jewish and Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America: A Genealogical History (both co-authored with Donald N. Yates). Hirschman's research indicates the earliest American settlers were of Mediterranean extraction, and of a Jewish or Muslim religious persuasion. Sometimes called “Melungeons,” these early settlers were among the earliest nonnative “Americans” to live in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia, perhaps including Daniel Boone, John Sevier, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and Andrew Jackson. She is currently at work on a history of English crypto-Jews from the beginnings to the Enlightenment. She lives in New Jersey and spends part of the year teaching in Virginia.

Alther taught Southern fiction at St. Michael’s College in Vermont and at East Tennessee State University, in addition to having lectured and done readings throughout the United States, Western Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Alther's newest is a sweeping Melungeon saga about her own ancestors, Washed in the Blood. Photo Ina Danko.
