The Past Speaks

Since 1996, the Gilder Lehrman Institute in New York City has hosted a lecture series on American history. Some of the most distinguished historians of the United States have presented there. The Institute recently placed recordings of the lectures online. You can download the podcasts here. I’m especially looking forward to hearing Eric Foner on Reconstruction, Sean Wilentz on Lincoln and Jacksonian Democracy, and Gordon S. Wood on Aaron Burr.
