American Beginnings: Tony Horwitz

20090506_horwitz259.jpg WEDNESDAY: Tony Horwitz makes history look easy. He teases out the anecdotes and storylines that catch your attention and get you to fall in love with his subject in a way your high school teacher with the droning voice and endless knowledge of dates never could.

Tonight, Horwitz will be speaking about his latest book, "A Voyage Long and Strange," which deals with the first European explorers in North America.
