In her new book, This Land Is Your Land, Beverly Gage trades the archives for the open road, visiting museums, historic sites, and cultural landmarks that shape how the country tells its story. The book blends travelogue with cultural history to take a thoughtful look at how we confront the past and what it means to carry that history forward. Gage discusses her new book with fellow historian Joanne Freeman.
