Where We Lived presents, for the first time, a marriage of eyewitness accounts of early American life with the remarkable photography of the Depression-Era Historic American Building Survey. Combining images with text by gifted historian Jack Larkin, the book offers a new look into everyday life at the dawn of the new Republic, from the lives of slaves and paupers to those of frontiersman and the East Coast elites. Laura's guest is Jack Larkin, Museum Scholar and Historian Consultant at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA. He is also an Affiliate Professor of History at Clark University in Worcester, MA.
