TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
David Heighway is back once again to explore the intricacies of our country's constructed memory! It finds its way into nearly every American home; lingering memories of a sparsely populated frontier and the rugged pioneer. Many family histories have followed this line of thinking for generations. It even shows up at our own "Pioneer museum" of Conner Prairie. And yet, while not necessarily fabricated, we can use new information to see what the world would have truly looked like. As historians ourselves-just like David, that's the best we can hope to share!
