Lunchtime lecture series at u. S. Capital historical society. I want to end the series with something instructive, of course but also, not light and frothy by any means but something a , little less serious. By that i made, there is going to be a lot of visuals and i figure visual intelligence is something we can all lay a little bit of a claim to. For those of you who need the more traditional scaffolding, like an outline, we can start off with a few pages of that.

I want to thank my hosts at the tavern and my publisher who is represented here by Sarah Tara Kennedy for publishing , this book. Of arms and artists, this is the book here. It is a hybrid book in the sense that it attempts to do a number of things at the same time. It is meant to be read by anybody. Anyone whos interested in 18th century america.
