Join us for an intimate exploration of the "ignorance of history and the primacy of fiction over fact" with former Radcliffe Institute Fellow, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and best-selling author Tony Horwitz. Tony has taken public history in new directions with works such as his seminal *Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War*, *A Voyage Long and Strange*, and *Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before*, each with his characteristically perspicacious view on the important ways that the past interacts with the present.

 *Public History Master Classes are sections of The Practice of Public History (MUSE E-137), a course in the Museum Studies Program of the Harvard Extension School. Please contact Taylor Stoermer (<stoermer@fas.harvard.edu>) with any questions.*
