Marcus Jernegan

Marcus Wilson Jernegan (1872–1949) was an American historian[1] and a professor at the University of Chicago.[2] In 2017, a scholar from Harvard (Donald Yacovone) referred to him as one of the leading historians of his time who influenced textbooks of his era and noted the tainted and bigoted sources he relied on.[3]
