"Burgwin-Wright Presents... Outlander in the Cape Fear" explores the history of Colonial North Carolina through its depiction in the book and TV series "Outlander."

On this week's episode, we delve into a recent season six episode of “Outlander” with a look at the life and legacy of Flora MacDonald, a Scottish heroine after the Battle of Culloden whose notoriety carries her into the storm of the American Revolution. Who was Flora, what is the legend around her, what brings her to North Carolina and how does she become emblematic of the impossibly difficult decision of where to place one’s allegiance?

This week's guest is Kimberly Sherman, a lecturer in history at Cape Fear Community College and the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She is also a co-owner in Ghost Hill Press.

This podcast is produced by Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, Wilmington's largest and oldest historic site. For more information about the Burgwin-Wright House, visit BurgwinWrightHouse.com.
