Episode 97: In Search of George Washington's Hair
The Way of Improvement Leads Home: American History, Religion, Politics, and Academic life. - A podcast by John Fea
Categories:
Using America's obsession with Washington's hair as his window, historian Keith Beutler examines how "physicality," or the use of the material objects, was the most important way early Americans (1790-1840)--museum founders, African Amerians, evangelicals, and school teachers-- remembered the nation's founding. Beutler is the author of George Washington's Hair: How Early Americans Remembered the Founders (University of Virginia Press, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices.
