Today, we have Dr. Patrick Allitt on the show. Dr. Allitt is the Cahoon Family Professor of American History and the Undergraduate Honors Coordinator at Emory University.

He’s also the presenter of a number of lecture series through the Great Courses, one of which is titled The West, a focal point of this conversation.
