26: Be Brave and Go: The Titanic's Idaho Bound Passengers

So many American's like their history manufactured and packaged to suit their world view. They prefer the history they injest to be highly palatable and easily digested, an entree meant to reassure themselves of their own exceptionalism. However, history is as complicated as humanity itself, why would it be anything else? History is, afterall, the study of our ansestors and thus, in a fashion, of ourselves. If history doesn't confront our miscoceptions with stark realities and lessons from the past, what good is it? Historians and authors London Talbot and Mark Iverson run towards these subjects! They enjoy diving in the mess that is American history. Highway to History is the recorded record of their attemot to have interesting and challenging conversations about America's past, present and future. Step on in our 1978 GMC Kingsley motorhome and listen up!
