History, religion, democracy, & hope.
Adam Jortner has been teaching, researching, writing, and storytelling about American history for the last 20 years.
His stories are great and fun and true and not bummers.
They are stories you need to hear and will be glad you heard.
He’s written 3 books and lots of other stuff, and he still thinks the best way to get American history across is face to face and person to person.
You can hear his lectures at Audible.com, or get his books from any online bookseller.
To get in touch or to book Adam for your program, see the Contact page.
And be good to each other!
The new 1776 series is live!!!
My Great Courses class on 1776 is now LIVE!
This course is maybe the BEST thing I’ve ever made:
Founding fathers, horse empires, mad emperors, smallpox epidemics, steampunk submarines, sultans with camel-mounted rockets, Hawaiian kings, Pacific trade empires in Canada’s west coast, hundreds of Baptists, and the world’s first vampires.
It’s all there.
This is a great course on the unknown world of 1776 and an ideal gift for yourself or any other history nerd you know for the 250th.
There’s more to 1776 than you know.
You’ll only hear about it here!
