Jesus in America • Civil War recollections 1st of 8

(1) Richard Wightman Fox and Talking History's Fred Nielsen explore what Fox calls "America’s national obsession." Fox is author of "Jesus in America: Personal Savior, Cultural Hero, National Obsession." (2) Replacing the program's commentary and site-of-the-week segments during our new fall 2005 season, Talking History will air an 8-part series of readings from an unpublished manuscript, "Recollections of Field Hospital Service During the War of Secession," the eyewitness narrative of German immigrant Theodore V. Brown (b. 1836). The reader is David Jones, a student in the graduate theater program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
