Episode Details

Nathaniel and I discuss Travels with George, why and how Nathaniel, his wife, and his dog recreated George Washington’s travels during the first two years of his presidency, how people tend to idealize the past, wading through the myths and traditions surrounding Washington, the book’s fabulous cover, and much more.

Nathaniel’s recommended reads are:

1. Another Side of Bob Dylan: A Personal History on the Road and off the Tracks by Victor Maymudes
2. Adam Bede by George Eliot
