I had a blast on my visit to Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, to deliver the annual Jan Cohn Visiting Scholar Lecture in American Studies (what a mouthful!)

Though I'm traveling, I wanted to provide a link to a piece about the event that was posted today on the Website for the school's weekly newspaper, The Trinity Tripod.

My thanks to Professor Louis Masur, who encourages students to recognize photography's pivotal role in how we view history, to Trinity's thoroughly engaging students, to the bartenders at The Tap (who were generous with Bass Ale pitchers) and to Aileen McBride who wrote the article to which I've linked, above.

Speaking of pictures: Thanks also to Dorothy Thompson for taking a photograph for the paper that doesn't make me cower. Quite a feat.
