This past fall (2012), we were also honored to welcome Tony Horwitz to campus to talk about new book Midnight Rising and to talk about Confederates in the Attic. Unfortunately, we were not able to put video from the event online, but we were able to record the audio and post it as a podcast. Here’s the link:
