Revolutionary Lectures for Downloading

Back in September I mentioned a series of lectures at Old South Meeting-House about radicalism in the American Revolution. Audio and/or video versions of those presentations are available for free (to folks with fast internet connections) through the Forums website of WGBH, Boston's public-TV station:

• Ray Raphael, author of Founding Myths
• Russell Bourne, author of Cradle of Violence
• Dorris Fanelli from the National Park Service on the Liberty Bell site
• Brendan McConville on "Terror, Iconoclasm and the American Revolution"

Since I could attend only one of these events, I'm pleased to have the chance to catch up.

In addition, the WGBH Forums site offers other talks from these Revolutionary War experts:

• Gary Nash, African-Americans in the Continental Army and the Founding Fathers and Slavery
• Simon Schama, African-Americans in the British Army
• Elizabeth Riely, Benjamin Franklin and the Wild Turkey
• Ellen Miles, Gilbert Stuart's George & Martha Washington
• Joyce E. Chaplin, Benjamin Franklin and the Gulf Stream
• Cassandra Pybus, Epic Journeys of Freedom
• Philip Dray, Benjamin Franklin's Lightning Rod
• Panel on American Experience: John & Abigail Adams
• Douglas L. Wilson, Thomas Jefferson and His Books
• D. Brenton Simons, Scam, Scandal, Murder and Mayhem in Colonial Boston
• David McCullough, Biography of a Year: 1776 and Town Meeting
• Colin G. Calloway, American Indians and the French & English War
• Eliga H. Gould, Britain and the Seven Years War
• William M. Fowler Jr., Empires at War
• Marla Miller, The Last Mantua Maker: Women in Boston's Clothing Trades
• Hiller Zobel, Prelude to the Boston Massacre
• Panel on Deborah Sampson, Soldier
• Charles Bahne, Revisiting the Boston Tea Party
  

Pace yourselves.
