Its my pleasure to welcome today a professor Gregory Irwin of the revolution through world war ii. Its one of the great advantages of being in philadelphia that we can be close neighbors to professor irwin, whose work on the british army ands the American Revolution is extensive and nuanced and always inspiring of our exhibits and publications.

The wrong flight. Im brian balogh and ive been a cohost for backstory for over ten years now. Im going to introduce the panel and then we are each going to say a few words about our quite different roles.

Well visit with a historian and author who will share the history of the ozarks and talk about the stereotypes people face living in the region. Those stereotypes have been developing for a couple of hundred years. They are strong and they stick with us no matter what we do. You go outside this museum and you travel around northwest there are fortune 500 companies, there is a Major Research university, there is all kinds of business and industry and high tech stuff going on out there, but these stereotypes will stick with us. It is part of our story. Later, we will hear the story of the family who was residents who were residents of fayetteville and how they were driven from their home during the civil war. This is a family that lived here and survived the war. The war affected them in many ways and they eventually had to leave the house because of the war.
