MEANING ANALYSIS:
The sentence talks about Mercy Otis Warren (MOW). She knew many of the leaders of colonial America and the American Revolution personally. She always placed herself at or near the center of political events from 1765 to 1789. Now this period of time together with her talent for writing made her one of the most valuable historians of the year. She already had the talent, and now came this period. So together both the factors made her the most valuable historian.

Hello egmat, to me it seems like the vantage point was only the fact that she was continually at or near the center of political events. The period of time is just incidental (mentioned just as a reference point), and not a vantage point. Can you please advice.
