One of American History's 'go-to guys' to headline event this week at Clay's Ashland Estate

Henry Clay Memorial Foundation

Author and historian H.W. Brands has tackled subjects from just about every era of our nation’s history. Chances are you've seen him in a variety of programs on the History channel, C-Span and other platforms. This Thursday June 6, Brands will be in Lexington at Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate for a ticketed event co-sponsored by Kentucky Book Festival, Kentucky Humanities and the Henry Clay Memorial Foundation. H.W. will be talking about his book, Founding Partisans: Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson, Adams and the Brawling Birth of American politics. WUKY's Alan Lytle recently spoke with Brands for a preview.
