Cambridge Forum Lectures on Video

In recent years I’ve moderated a series of annual talks at the Cambridge Forum by historians of the Revolutionary era.

These talks all have a link to George Washington since they’re primarily co-sponsored by the Friends of Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters and the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.

The Cambridge Forum edits those lectures for a public-radio audience. It also makes them available in long video form on YouTube, and here are the handy links:

• T. H. Breen on “Duel Over Dinner: President Washington’s Clash with Governor John Hancock Over State Sovereignty”.
• Nathaniel Philbrick on “Bunker Hill and the Crisis of Leadership in Revolutionary America”.
• And one highlight of that evening, when Nat Philbrick describes how participants experienced that battle.
• Ted Widmer on “Washington, Longfellow & Religious Tolerance in America”.
