Author and historian Russell Shorto in Conversation with Rhonan Mokriski
Award-winning historian and author Russell Shorto joins Troutbeck for a conversation with educator and Troutbeck Symposium co-founder Rhonan Mokriski about the power of narrative history and Shorto’s acclaimed book Revolution Song: The Story of America’s Founding in Six Remarkable Lives. Rather than retelling the American Revolution as a sequence of battles and dates, Shorto follows six very different people—elite and ordinary, enslaved and free—and reveals how their hopes, struggles, and choices shaped the nation we became.
