"Understand him for his flaws as well as for his greatness."
— Joe Ellis
We welcome historian Joseph Ellis to the program this week to talk about his book American Creation. In the book, Ellis notes a series of five contributions the founding fathers made and Clay Jenkinson asks how those contributions are holding up during our time.
On this 1776 Club exclusive episode, Clay and David discuss storytelling, documentary film-making, and Clay's experiences being interviewed by Ken Burns.
To my mind, Joseph Ellis is the best historian of the early national period in America.
