Gordon Wood's Creation of the American Republic is excellent. It's starting to age a bit, but it's still a must-read in my book.

West coast schools are obligated to be extra active today to make up for the east coast closures, right?

The elusive republic by Drew McCoy is pretty good. Not an easy read, but it's well worth it if you're interested in the conflicts between Jefferson and Hamilton. Fair warning: It's pretty heavy on political economy, which was awesome for me but isn't for everyone.

I haven't been out of undergrad that long! how am I already forgetting everything?!

Political economy was an awesome class. And really easy, because I had already taken advanced economics by the time I took it. I do try and remember the key concepts that they pounded into my head for years and still struggle to remember
