Let’s go back to Boston in 1721. Historian Stephen Coss says it was one of the most influential years in U.S. history. And why not: We meet a young Ben Franklin, a chastised Cotton Mather and the beginning American arguments over faith and science. You’ll be surprised by who is on which side. Coss talks with Steve Bertrand on Books about “The Fever of 1721.” Love the show or want to reach out to Steve?  Visit: Facebook + Twitter
