With the kind assistance of the Salem Center for Policy, I’m releasing three more lectures by autodidact extraordinaire George Smith (1949-2022). The latest series of talks covers the American Revolution, the American Civil War, the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, and more. I had the privilege of hearing and arguing with George on multiple occasions in the early 90s, and it’s always thrilling to hear his radio-announcer voice release another firehose of knowledge.
