His own essays cover topics ranging from ethnic tensions, the early history of trial by jury, the emergence of the legal profession, the Salem witch trials, and the political culture of the colonies and the new nation to the rise of professional baseball and college football in the nineteenth century. He served as president of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic in 1998?1999.

Review:
"Compared to the five texts which I have used over the past 15 years, the Murrin text presents the most comprehensive overview of more themes than any of the others."

"It is a much better text [than other U.S. History texts]. It operates on a higher learning level and has a greater command of scholarship."

"The narrative for LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER is clear, balanced, and very interesting. It's written at a level that survey students can understand and find engaging. In a time when many texts promise balance and diversity, this one actually delivers."

"I really like both the History Through Film and the Musical Links to the Past. Both...are engaging tools for students and also allow instructors another method for bringing the past alive and directly to their students."
