Great evening and thanks to my wonderful hosts and audience in Lawrence, still a Free State that would make John Brown proud.

Nice event with the great @TonyHorwitz at Liberty Hall tonight. We love the kind of personal journalism where one sets out across the country to get "the drift of things." And we love when authors go out to hang @FreeStateBeer afterward! @lawrencelibrary @ravenbookstore
