Autorenporträt

Jesse Macy (June 21, 1842 - November 2, 1919) was a United States political scientist and historian that specialized in the history of American political parties, party systems, and the Civil War in the late nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. He spent the majority of his professional career at Grinnell College, his alma mater. Jesse Macy, the thirteenth of fourteen children, was born in Indiana to Quaker parents, but the family relocated to central Iowa in 1856 and began farming outside Lynnville, near the newly established town of Grinnell. He enrolled in Iowa College, now Grinnell College, when he was 17 years old. He served in the Union army during the Civil War and did not graduate until after the war, getting an A.B. in 1870.
