About the Author
Reijo Koskenoja is a researcher and writer — and a Finnish American, like John Morton of Pennsylvania, one of the fifty-six. His work focuses on institutional leadership, organizational systems, and the recorded histories behind American civic mythology.
A student of how organizations actually function under pressure — and what happens to the people who build them — he brings an outsider’s clarity and an operator’s instinct to questions most historians frame as settled. What the 56 Pledged is his first book.
