Chris Quackenbush (born August 4, 1984 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Westfieldian historian. Best known for his work A People's History of the West Fields, the title of which parodies Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Quackenbush is often criticised for his nationalistic rhetoric and anti-Scotch Plains stance. He has called for the unification of the Greater Westfield Area as he has termed the geographic region in North Eastern Union County immediately surrounding Westfield and consisting of Westfield, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Cranford, Garwood, and Mountainside and has urged ethnic Westfieldmen to rise up and take control of the municipalities of the land which he claims they have historically inhabitted.

[edit] Vespucia

In his writing, Quackenbush has stated that he intends to found a nation on the continent of Antarctica which he calls Vespucia after Amerigo Vespucci. Along with Matthew Lowenstein he will suposedly rule this region as a Bicoronar. Quackenbush openly claims the antarctic state as the destiny of the Westfieldian race who he has inimated he believes to be divinely ordained to to rule over the southernmost continent.
