Alexander Hamilton • Civil War recollections 3rd of 8

(1) This week, Bryan Le Beau is joined by Ron Chernow, whose biography of Alexander Hamilton has gained widespread acclaim. Their conversation reveals not only the familiar highs and lows of Hamilton’s life but its depth and breadth. (2) Replacing the program's commentary and site-of-the-week segments during our new fall 2005 season, "Talking History" will air a series of readings from an unpublished manuscript, "Recollections of Field Hospital Service During the War of Secession," the eyewitness narrative of German immigrant Theodore V. Brown (b. 1836).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.
