Erik Larson and Nathaniel Philbrick

Join Kentucky Author Forum when it welcomes authors Erik Larson and Nathaniel Philbrick for a conversation regarding a shared interest in Civil War politics. Larson will discuss his latest work The Demon of Unrest, which explores the chaotic period between Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860 and the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861. Philbrick will reflect on his new book, The Rush, which reveals how California's Gold Rush shaped the modern United States and lit a long fuse to the Civil War. A ticketed dinner will follow at 21c Museum Hotel.
